Roller-skating

Since Ryan had rehearsal all day Sunday, the girls and I decided to spend the day playing. Roller skating and Pizza sounded a lot more fun than staying in the apartment all day. I knew that it might be a challenge taking two inexperienced skaters to a skating rink, but decided it was worth a shot. I got a great work out! Lisa was very independent and did a great job hanging on to the side wall while she practiced shuffling  her feet. Lyra was stuck to me like glue the entire time, but she did great letting me pull her around and even tried to move her feet along like I showed her. They had a very fun time and that's what mattered most. I remember how much we LOVED going roller skating as kids and it is neat for me to now take my kids. 
Get BACK here, mom! 



They were all out of the plastic, over the shoes skates,
so Lyra ended up with a few sizes too big.
She did quite well, considering. She looks so little to me!

We (just mark and I)tried to go roller sakting a few months ago and it was so frustrating because all the nights (week nights) were set up for certain things like group events or private parties. I LOVED roller skating still do! So glad you had fun and Lyra does look so little!
P.S. I love that you are updating this so much more! I love you.
