Skate Party

The kids were out of school for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. We met our friends, the Candlands, at the skating rink in Purcellville. Instead of the old-fashioned skates, the kids all like to use roller blades. They also have a cool device made out of PVC pipe that helps the little ones stay upright, when they are a bit wobbly. The rink was very crowded, but most of the kids managed to have fun. Ethan did one lap around the rink and then dissolved into tears. He had been sick last week and I'm afraid his stomach hadn't fully recovered. Luckily, we made it home without any disasters in the car--Hallelujah!
