I Consider It A Success!

When Dan let me know that he couldn't attend the Girl Scout family rollerskating party, I got a bit nervous.  I honestly thought about not going.  Hey...it is a family event...the Girl Scouts don't need their leader there!?!  Last years trip was Sarah's first time rollerskating and it happened to fall on her birthday.  If you ask her, it still goes down as the "worst birthday in the history of birthday parties."

Well, I found myself carpooling a few girls up and it wasn't so easy to back out anymore.  So we braved it!  Luckily, we got there early enough were Sarah was able to grab some training skates that don't roll backwards.  It was still rough-going (a bit of crying and a bit of screaming), but she was able to skate on her own and have fun.  Although many of her friends were "skating circles," around her, they did come to hang out with her every once in a while, which was really nice!

So all-in-all, I consider this years Girl Scout Roller Skating Adventure a Success!

We skate at Reva Rollerdrome in Auburn, NY.
