Roller Skating

Bicycle Sport Shop finally had their holiday party. I was actually really excited about it because it was at a roller skating rink and this would be Charis' first time skating. (If you did not catch it, I love to skate) However, it is not Kris' favorite but he was doing a good job of trying to get excited about it.
After a little concern that they may not have Charis' size skates, which they did. Charis and I went straight on to the rink. She had no fear! And was very happy to be learning this new skill.
She did so well in a very short amount of time. "Uncle" Skot and I took turns skating with her and she loved it! Kris even skated a little with her and they both did pretty good - since this was both of their first times at a skating rink.We played red light, green light & limbo & a couple other games that I had not seen before - even though we did not win anything they still gave Charis a prize and we had fun! This was the only time she fell not on purpose (she insisted on falling like everyone else during red light, green light) - it was because she could not figure how to squat and roll under the limbo bar. But she just got back up and started skating again.She got so comfortable on the skates that she did not need any help and even started dancing by herself to the music. So cute!

And before we left, of course I taught her how to spin in circles with me.
