I remember I used to love skating when I was little. Especially around the block and down a hill that seemed so much steeper when I was small. Well a few years ago, maybe before Isabelle, I got a pair of skates/shoes. And when I tried skating again it was scary. I was thinking the same thoughts, about being older and more breakable. And I’m even older now. :-D Just the thought makes me shake in my boots.

Just looking at pictures of rollerskating makes me nervous! I got a terrible break in my lower leg when I was 11 on Christmas day rollerskating.

I’m convinced that you can’t not smile while roller skating. It’s just too much teenage fun!

We have a skating rink literally around the corner, and my hubby used to figure skate there. We’ve taken the kidlins a few times, but the last time we went I sprained my ankle. Just from the pressure of skating. Stupid weak ankles.

That is so amazing that your old rink is still open. The building that housed the one here has long since been turned into an office. But, I still have my old skates! My Dad had kept them all these years and my Mother forced me to remove them from her garage three summers ago. Ever now and then I take them out and give them a spin, much to the amusement of the younger kids on the street. They all wonder what on earth I have on my feet.

Oh, what memories you’re bringing back! For my 12th birthday, my mom threw me a surprise party with a few of my closest girlfriends, and after hours of party games and cake, we ended the night at the school skating party. That day was so jam-packed full of fun, it was like a dream!

Some friends had bday parties there last year and I got to introduce the kids to skating – they are still learning and we haven’t gotten back. I also used to go skating once a week with friends as a kids and would go SOOO fast and backwards and spin around, and do the limbo…Now I just go forwards and not too fast – I have become extremely clutzy and don’t need much help hurting myself.

My old skating rink is now a radio station and a school of Budo. I miss those days.
