After a quick bite to eat, it was time to lace up our skates and hit the rink! The boys have never been skating before and once I walked in to Skate City, I realized I hadn't been skating since 1994! Although the skating rink hasn't changed ONE BIT!!! We all got our skates on and gingerly slid out to the rink. It took me a few minutes to catch my bearings but it was almost as easy as riding a bike! Grant fell probably 300 times but he just got up and tried again. He LOVED every second of it! Levi was practically a professional! After finally making one pass around- where I basically supported Wyatt's body weight the entire time, he had had enough! He couldn't stay standing for a complete second, it was SO hard for him! Normally he's the one who's determined to get good at something, where Grant gives up the second it gets hard. But roles reversed this time! After the another pass with Wyatt, we traded Wyatt's skates in for the little fisher price ones you strap on your shoes. He was able to go around a few more times with us, but still hated it! Levi and Grant just kept on skating and skating while Wyatt and I just watched!
It was definitely an activity loved by some but not by all!
(As I'm writing this post in October, Grant has since been to the skating rink 3 more time and has fallen more in love with skating. Wyatt has yet to return...)
Wyatt's face when I asked if he wanted to come back another time....
