The scriptures tell us there must be opposition in all things, for without it we could not discern the sweet from the bitter. Would the marathon runner feel the triumph of finishing the race had she not felt the pain of the hours of pushing against her limits?

Skating

So, what do you do after you send your kids off to school and all your sisters have the day off? SKATING at Classic Fun Center. As my facebook says, I haven't done this since Skate Way was cool back in Chino. It brought back 8th grade flashbacks like no other. I have not worn the 4 wheeled skates in a LONG time. I used to rollerblade a decade ago.

I was laughing so hard, it was so much fun. Jen is like a ballerina on skates. Beautiful but makes us sick just watching her glide across the floor. I'm looking for the side wall, which they don't have. After about 15 minutes, I got the hang of it. I could even turn without freaking out. I can't do the spins or use the rubber brakes on your toes, but I did pretty good. We were the only ones there which also made it more fun. There was a family there for a little while who had a speed racer 2 year old. Problem with that is, he's not paying attention and my inability to stop made for a few close calls. My sister protected him from getting clobbered by me. It was fun to hang out with the sisters.
Here are some pictures. Sorry they are blurry, that's what you get with a cheap camera phone.

Deb skating. See, no one on the floor. That's my kind of skating.


Jen, the ballerina on wheels.

OH MY! Theresa, how fun! Classic Skating was my hang out growing up. I would be the one hugging the wall if I were to try it again.

I love that you get to do fun things with your sisters like that??? Did you ever imagine in a million years that your whole family would be calling Utah home???
