Skate Night

One of my most favorite times while in Indiana was at the roller rink. Yep, that's right. The roller rink. My friend Connie invited us to her church's mother/daughter skate night. This was the church I went to in high school, so that was fun to see familiar faces. Anyway... it was Kaiya's first time roller skating and the smallest size skates fit her. She wasn't too sure about them at first because on her little legs, the skates were so heavy. But she did just fine.

We did about 3 laps before her legs got tired. She was smiling the whole time and managed to do it without falling down.

After she took the skates off she put her shoes on and pulled me around the rink. It was hilarious and she thought she was really cool doing it. :)
And here is the roller queen of the night, Mimi. Unbeknownst to us, my mom is an excellent roller skater. When we asked her how she got so good she attributed it to Saturdays at Kreklaw's in Eugene, Oregon as a jr. higher. Apparently this roller rink even had a bus that drove around and picked kids up to go to the rink for the afternoon. She and my aunt & uncle would go every weekend. Sweet.
I loves me some Sami.
