another one bites the dust
unglamorously, i am currently sporting a rollerskate-shaped bruise on my bum, and two nastily bruised knees.
not because I am a poor skater, it’s all the beginners getting in my way, kicking me over and otherwise frustrating my pretensions to skating prowess…
though I must confess, I have found it IS true skating is NOT like riding a bike, and it DOES require some relearning before mastering the skill once again…
Bela and Lily are instant champions.
of course.
we had a rink open up just down the road, halfway between palmares and san ramon
lily, and especially Bela are skate obsessed, so we go at least twice a week
wednesdays are free for women using ‘traditional’ skates!
and they are still playing the roller rink old favourite, another one bites the dust
bela has her own skates; lily is getting some made for her birthday, coming up soon!
cousin cali in the orange tshirt has been known to skate with us;
but neither elias nor wilson has been up to the challenge YET.

no part of the aging process involved in your “accident”? – lol Wilson and Elias are the smart ones! but you need to enjoy your kid’s youth while you can – grandma may not have the same agility! peace, Al
those darn beginers
I hope the bruise and knees heel fast and you are able to get a bit better on the skates so you and your daughters can keep having a girls time at the rink!!!
Looks like fun! Chris had his 11th birthday with friends at a skate place just like that. Needless to say I was smart and watched from the sidelines to avoid embarrassing myself and my son. LOL!
Oh, Chris’ group will be going to Los Santos region for a community project and will have a home stay. Details when he arrives. I’m so excited for him! I’m glad he will be in the interior mountain area because he is always near the beach. This should be a special and wonderful experience all around.
Great pics. Hope your knees are all better for another skate around the rink.

Mio is totally into rollerblading – so much more fashionable than roller-skating! She got roller blades for her birthday, but we don’t go to the rink very often….
We bounced better at their age, didn’t we?
Some progress to do Lucy , to match Bela and Lily!!!!
Love
