This past Friday we went to Skate Daze in Omaha for a homeschool skating party. The Stangl family puts one on in our area every year. It was alot of fun despite the fact that I had never been to a skating rink before. But I was able to learn quick (from some great teachers).
I think this picture is my personal favorite. I'm not real sure how my brother managed to capture the three of us in about the same position. That's David Rehm, Lydia Stangl, and Me.
There's me again skating. I actually started out on skates but then switched to blades hoping they would work better for me.
There were quite a few "teachers" at the rink. Those that didn't mind going slower to help the newer skaters. Here's two of them here. That's Ellie Stangl in the blue shirt, and Sam Lyons in the black. If it wasn't for him I doubt I would havbe stayed with the blades. He gave me some great pointers.
Every once in awhile it got kinda crowded in certain spots.
More pictures will come later.
I actually only got one picture of someone falling.
That's one picture that won't be coming later for obvious reasons.
You've been learning a lot lately. =)
ReplyDeleteSo you only do this once a year? We have a homeschool night at the local skating rink once a month. It's loads of fun.
Oh, what fun! Roller skating was part of our family until we moved to the country. My Mom and Dad did a lot of roller skating together. After their wedding, they went roller skating. Yes, gown and tux. lol! My mom said that she took a fall once, but the photographer missed it!
ReplyDeleteOur homeschool group did it quarterly. Last time, I was just starting to get backwards going. Ah, you make me really want to get out there again!
