Roller Skating...

No not me but Michael tried...
He went to a friends birthday party today at the Roller rink. I managed a few photos with the point and click camera before the battery died...

Trying to get his balance, he was so afraid of falling. I tried to explain to him that we all fall when we are learning and that it's okay, it's how we learn. I wish I had been able to walk without crutches so I could have helped him.

I finally managed to talk him into going out on the floor...woohoo!

He wasn't out on the floor for long before he came back to the wall, whoops!! I think he skated or tried to skate for a whole 15 minutes, sigh! I guess skating just isn't his cup of tea.

Might take him a few times to get the hang of it. I loved skating when I was young but we had to skate on cement and used the old metal skates that you used a key to tighten them onto your shoes. They didn't always stay on either and sometime it made you fall when one of them came off or got loose. He looks cute in those pretty skates.

I remember those skates Paula and they were a pain, especially if you hit a rock with the steel wheels...

Looks like he's doing better than I ever did. I guess it all comes down to interest, if he wants to...he will. My sister had those old clamp on sidewalk skates Paula was talking about...she went through 2 or 3 pairs of them when we were kids...rough concrete chewed those steel wheels right off of them...chewed the hide off of your knees and elbows too...LOL!
