Allen Family Adventures

The girls got punchcards to use during the summer for free admittance to the Skate Zone.  As a reward for doing a great job in school I decided to take them.  I rented skates for all 4 of us.  The kids tried for about the first 30 minutes.  Lizzy kept falling down until they got her skates with tighter wheels.  Katie just stuck to the wall.  I think after one or two falls, she didn't want to do it anymore.  Junior did surprisingly well.  He looked more like he was walking/shuffling than skating, but he didn't seem afraid to fall.  But...after only a short time they were ready to be done with the skates and go play in the ball/jungle gym area.  So glad I paid for them to play on play equipment when I can go to a park for free. Just glad that a friend of mine and her kids were there too.  That meant the kids had a friend to play with on the play equipment and I had a friend to skate with.
