Sk8er Girl

Sarah went to a birthday party at Skate Town this weekend. She had never done it before and started with old-school style skates and leaning on me a couple times around the rink. I was sweating by lap 2! Someone suggested in-line skates would be easier and Sarah was willing to give it a try. Another couple laps and the party mom offered to get her a tripod to skate with...hallelujah!

She fell several times but got back up each time. I was proud of her. And by the end, she wasn't skating like a pro, but she was skating without any assistance from the tripod. Success!
