When Lori mentioned that I should take Megan roller skating my initial reaction was kind of so-so about the idea. I figured Megan would love it because she is such a good ice skater. But I'm not a great ice skater and I haven't been roller skating in fifteen years. And my last experience with inline skates was a disaster.
But I figured we would give it a try, so I took her this afternoon. The first nice thing was that we were given a choice of quad skates (the old school four wheelers) and inlines. We took quads. I was pretty unsteady at first but within about five minutes I was sailing around like I had never left the rink. Megan, in the meantime, was clinging to the side for dear life.
I loved it. I could have staid for hours had I not poorly chosen a sweatshirt to go out in, and had Megan actually liked roller skating. I was having a ball. The music was great. They were playing games at one point. They turned off the lights and did a disco ball thing. I want to go again! And again! Roller skating is the bomb!
