Well, we may only be watching the derby gals for a while...
A long while!
Months ago, Andi bought the girls roller skates in anticipation of the holidays.
When Christmas came around we decided it might be better to wait until summer time,
but we COULD take them to the rink and see what happened.
My bestie got her kids skates that the girls have been using when they play over there,
so why not take them for a spin around the rink, right?
I told my sis and she was game, so off we went to Orbit Roller Rink.
What a blast from the past!
It was just like I remember open skate to be,
loud, strobey, black-lightey, with the corniest DJ spinning the latest teen hits.
My favorite part was when the girls got little skate aids ( tiny little walkers);
they looked like little old ladies.
Those really only lasted for a couple round-a- bouts and then they were off.
You would have thought that Mimi would have been all-out-and-loving this,
but in fact it was Marlo who took to the skating like a champ.
This is what I love about the girls-
just when you think you can predict what will happen
POW!
they change it up on you!
Andi trying to talk Mimi into just moving forward.
and then when you least expected it
mimi took off on her own.
