Skatin'

Nick actually had the night off tonight (for everyone counting, yes, that is 2 whole nights in a row...amazing)! Anyway, we took full advantage of it. After stuffing our faces with a great BBQ dinner, we decided to work it off and take the kids rollerskating. We have never gone rollerskating as a family. Masyn has been a hand full of times with Kids Club (her after school program), Zain has never been, Nick used to be professional back in the day and I grew up roller-blading, not rollerskating (yes, I WAS that roller-blading dork)! The last time I went rollerskating was with Nick about 5-6 years ago in Colorado...he was so good that I decided to pout and trade in my skates for blades just so that I could attempt to keep up with him.

Anyway, tonight we had a blast! There was no trading in my skates (I tried, they don't do roller-blade rentals at the place we went), instead we stayed together as family. Masyn was on her butt the entire time, then she would stand up and laugh at herself and then fall to her butt again. Zain was like gum stuck to the bottom of a chair, except he was glued to the wall! When Nick wasn't holding one of the kids hands (which was very rare) he managed to show of some of his old-school tricks! I stayed back with the kids a lot and just went a long at a my own pace...which, I have to admit was not to shabby!!

Take a peek at our silly, fun-loving, full of laughter and exhausting night...
