roller skating

I totally forgot to post these. We went roller skating with Hannah's school about 3 weeks ago. We almost didn't go b/c we weren't sure how the kids would do. But alas the super cheap price got us. It was $3 for Hannah, parents and siblings were free, and $1 for skates. If we had gone as a family by ourselves it would cost over $27. We had a BLAST!! The kids each loved it SO much that they cried when we left. We had to carry Bubby out b/c he was crying. (screaming)

Hannah was her typical self. VERY cautious, not willing to take risks, go at a turtle pace. She ended up being able to let go of Dan by the end of the night. We ended up leaving early b/c she had fallen (again) and told us she hurt her wrist. NOTE: she was moving it and putting pressure on it on the bench she was sitting on while telling us this!!!!!! (I wonder if she even realized it) But still, due to her crying and making a huge scene about it, we left. At one point Dan had told her if she could go around by herself one time he would give her a dollar. She actually did it too.

Bubs on the other hand....was a maniac! He LOVED skating. He, true to his nature(all boy) went at it with full force. I only let go of him once though, and he did fall. I just wanted to see if he could do it. The kid doesn't know what fear is. He'll be the one speed skating by the time he is in K.

MiriLou had fun too! She sat by our shoes chewing on them. We won't be able to take her with us next time though, b/c she crawls now and that would just be a disaster:)

Hannah's school has the best PTA in town. They have a skating party the last Monday of every month!!! They also have other activities during the month as well. They have rented out the Y next Sunday evening (why on a Sunday? No clue). And in March they have rented out the science center for a whole evening!!! The flyer said that for a family of 4, it would normally cost $55. Being the cheapest parents ever, this is our kind of family outing!
