On Monday we went to the elementary school's family skate night at Classic Skating! Now the last time we went we didn't know what to expect. We rented the kids skates and skates for us too. We spent the whole night holding up the boys and trying not to fall down ourselves! It was a disaster! I even fell over on Noah, so this time we were determined to do it different. One thing we didn't know before is that you don't have to use skates. You can bring scooters and big wheels! So this time Noah wore his Heeleys, Zach rode his scooter, and having their good friends Tyler and Josh Lewis was also a great addition!!
Noah and Tyler both had Heeleys and had fun honing their skills on the flat smooth surface! They are getting pretty good! (Kinda cheesy smiles though!)
Noah on his Heeleys!
Zach on his scooter! This kid was a crazy kid on that scooter! Normally everyone goes the same direction around and around the floor. Not Zach! He starts plowing head on into all of the kids. Zooming in between the kids and almost crashing several times! One game that they play at the rink is Wipe Out! (boy does that take me back to childhood) It is a competition between the boys and the girls. When the disc jockey turns the music off and says wipe out, all the kids are supposed to lay on the ground. The last one standing gives the other gender a point. So if a girl is the last one to wipe out the boys get a point etc... Zach didn't quite get it. He was so determined to find Noah that on more than one occasion he was the last boy standing! The jockey would say something like, "Hmmm who knows whether it is a boy or a girl last standing!"
Bailey didn't skate, but she was so happy to watch and dance to the music. She loves to dance!
Zach wanted Travis to go around the floor with him, so he got some skates and took a turn around the floor!
Because Travis had skates, Bailey did get in on the action. Travis was able to push her around on the floor in her stroller! It was a fun night!

It looks like you all had a great time! I remember them doing days at Classic Skating when I was younger; isn't that crazy? I don't think we were ever got to take scooters or anything out there, though. Lucky!
I love those skating nights now that we figured them out. They will also give you free adjustable skates that work well if they aren't sturdy enough for the others. It's great!
Looks fun!
That doesn't surprise me at all about zach going against the natural way of things and going off to his own tune. Baileys hair is getting soooooooooo long! She looks so grown up!
Looks like a lot of fun. I would've loved heeleys when I was younger. I always wanted to ride my roller skates in the gorcery store because the floor was so smooth. That was before I really knew about skating rinks.
