Roller Skating on Veterans Day

We decided it would be fun to take the kids to Skate Plaza on their day off. We invited a few friends and their kids. Only Ellie and Gwen could make it. Kenda has been asking for skates for Christmas and we decided it would be better to let her try roller skating first before we bought them. She actually caught on really well and by the end of our day, she was skating pretty confidently on her own. Kiah, on the other hand just could not figure out how to keep her feet together. She spent much of the time hobbling along on the edge or split legged on the floor. Daddy sped along on his roller blades and did his best to show each of them the skills he had mastered. I skated as well with them, but prefer to stay behind the camera as much as possible. Thanks to Grandma Lynn, we were able to take both girls and spend some quality time with them while Gabe napped at her house.
