Roller Champ or Roller Chimp?

A little bit of both, I think. Steve and I took the boys to go roller skating for the very first time... and what a time! You could tell we weren't the regulars at Skateland with the custom skates and fancy laces. It took us at least 20 minutes to get all of our rental skates on. Once we got them on though- down the boys went. What did ya expect? Our oldest got the hang of it and about midpoint of the time we spent there, he made it around the roller rink 1 whole time by himself, no falls. Woop-woop baby cakes!! He was mighty proud as well. Our other babe didn't want anything to do with the skates. Nope. He put them on, then had them off within 10 minutes. He was more intrigued with the video games and wanting to get a soda pop. They had a "lights out" skate with glow sticks and it drew him back pretty fast. So we picked some different skates and off he took. I think they were more comfortable, so it did the trick for him. My chimp was a champ in the end! We played red light green light and the dice game while while in the rink. Steve and the boys were oh-so-close at winning the dice game, oh well, maybe next time. I had a "can I have my birthday party here" request, so I think someone was sold. I love it when we're together.

I managed to get some video of one of our skaters, enjoy. The volume is loud.. so you might want to lower it before you play it if you have sensitive ears. Love the look he gives me right at the end like "quit frickin' taping me mom?!"
