roller skating gives me a better buzz than percocet, and without the constipation

I even look a little high in this picture.
From age 3 to 9 I had a best friend named Adrienne. She got roller skates for her birthday one year. I didn't have any. Because she was and still is one of the sweetest friends I've ever had, she would let me wear the left one and she would wear the right one. We would skate all over our neighborhood. Grownups would always ask us where our other skate was. Stupid question. I finally got my own skates and we spent almost every summer day skating. Ahhhhh those were some of the happiest days of my childhood.
No it is not girly to roller skate! No child should miss the chance to learn to skate.

Gwenyth was a complete natural. She refused to hold my hand and she got right up after she fell.

How do you like that action shot?! Sarah was like Bambi on ice the first time we went skating but the second time she was just as good as her twin sis.



Jax, AnnaKate and Emmaline getting more confident and feeling pretty cool.

  4. Hilarious Kris....only YOu could compare roller skating and pain pills. Love it!

    Oh, and I loved your post about Nate. I think we were both pretty darn lucky. And, Bradon is still driving his Honda too - definitely not as cool as Nate's camry....but he so needs a new car also. He just got his window fixed because it would fall down while he drove, making a horribly loud sound from the air coming in. He is convinced it will last until Kason turns 16...HILARIOUS!
