Rock and Roll

I drove three 13 year olds and a 22 year old to Mt. Vernon today. It was a "Family Fun Day" for WAVA - and it sounded like fun, so we went. Didn't know it was going to be free...at that price we might go to more of these.
Cosette and Emily - Daniel goes swimming with these two young ladies 3 mornings a week.
Nathan hadn't been skating since he was about 4 or 5 years old. He was starting to pick it up by the time we left.

The wall is your friend, the wall is your friend.

Cosette was pretty gutsy - she finally started going around without holding onto the wall. Every time she went past she would give a thumbs up...and then she would fall down.

Everybody limbo! Danny gave it a try...

Time to go - a good workout was had by all who skated. Daniel was dripping with sweat - but he wouldn't take his sweatshirt off - why? He wanted the extra protection for when he fell down. Which was often. Frequently.

...oh, I thought "often, a person who has lost his parents".

This looked like a fun activity...hope it inspired Nathan's future date plans.

He's going ice skating on Saturday...

So the wobbly skating wasn't enough to convince him that he might not appear to best advantage atop precarious blades?

Then again, many happy marriages have been based on smaller things than strategic falls...
