I had a very bad day yesterday. It started out with my yearly OB. exam and the confirmation of a lump in my left bosom. (fibrous cyst...Dr. is not worried about it but it does hurt!) Without going into needless detail, let's just say I wanted to go to bed early and call it a day. Benjy had a Church Meeting and last week our skating adventure got cancelled. I really didn't want to venture out last night but decided to go have some fun so that my day could end on a positive note! We decided to go around 5 P.M. and roped Serena and Taylor into going with us.
Kaydree and Karsyn both had to get bigger sizes of skates, my jeans were so tight (I had to look official at the rink you know!) it was hard bending over to tie these beautiful well worn out, ripped skates. I just love those hip hugging jeans that show way too much bum when you are bending over! It took me and extra 3-5 minutes because I was constantly pulling the back of my jeans up and the bottom of my shirt down!
Serena gave up waiting for me to get my skates on and jumped in to help Karsyn. Serena and I felt very very out of place. Why did the roller skating rink seem so much more cool, clean and fun when I was younger? I hadn't been on roller skates for 15 maybe 20 years. I think the Koch family went once in Marshall when I was in college?
I feel kind of bad now, because I was getting a little frustrated with Karsyn. Serena and I were both holding her hands but her skates kept going all crazy and knocking into ours and we all just about went down numerous times. She would just flail her little skates out and expect us to half carry her. At one point I thought, "Maybe after the day I had, today maybe wasn't the best day for me to try to be patient with Karsyn? :-(
Kaydree was sooooo much fun to watch. She looked like a baby giraffe learning how to walk on wheels. She did really well. She kept falling down and she would just pop back up again, smiling. She did take one really hard fall, limped off to the side, took a minute break and started out full speed ahead again.
Taylor had some mad skating skills! Here she is just about to fall. I think it is a funny picture. I wish it wasn't so blurry.
I have to say they played some great music! We have to bring Benjy back with us because he would get a chuckle out of some the interesting people at the skating rink, then again...WE WERE THERE TOO!

Were you at Cheap Skate in CR? Haha....that was my junior high skate hangout. Oh the memories...it looks like the same skates!
Thank you for taking me back to Crystal Palace Skating Center "The Skate of the Art"
Sounds like you are proving Max's theory that everytime he goes to the doctor he will be poked with a needle.
Oh Yes, The Key, shag carpet on the walls but boy were we cool going roller skating. I love that they still have the same old skates. I'm glad to hear that everything is okay with you.
