On December 28th, during the kid's winter break from
school (as well as the break for Tara & I), we were invited to go to Rollhaven
with Thad & Melissa, Tania, and all of the kids. It had been a while since the
kids had been skating (although Sam did go with her 6th grade classmates on a
field trip just before break began), and we kind of needed a break from being
cooped up inside the house cleaning, so we decided to give it a shot. Of the
five adults who went, I was the only one brave enough to don a pair of skates -
rollerblades, to be precise. Tyler, Sam, and Jay all went with traditional
roller skates, while Drew joined me with the blades. All in all everyone had a
good time, although it took Tyler a long time to warm up to skating... he spent
more time on the floor than anyone else! Hopefully we can do it again soon!

caught holding it when the music stops!

The the game was being played on the skating area, the adults
and "big kids" took a break and got a drink.

getting knocked out.
