Simone got some new roller skates! When we were ordering them, she could have gotten some training roller blades with the inline wheels, but she insisted on the old-school quad wheel configuration! Sigh ... it brought back memories of when I first learned to roller skate in the back patio of our El Monte house. Mine were not as cute as Simone's nor did I have the protection that I got her. Having rollerbladed up and down San Francisco hills, Griffith Park, and all over Ventura Blvd, I knew that wrist guards and knee pads were the essential things she needed to have to prevent the injury. She was excited to have the extra protection until she had to finagle them onto her limbs.
Max was getting bored and put on his swimming gear to feel part of the action.
Simone is exasperated and wants to get to the roller skating part of roller skating
Simone's biggest gripe was that the gear was too loose. Because she's on the younger age of the range that the gear is for, she barely had enough velcro left to secure her straps. I need to sew some extra strips on to make sure my baby is padded!
WOW!!!! That was such a great first try at skating! She's a natural. Time for Roller Derby!
