Super Skate!

We have been talking about trying out roller skating for ages, and we finally gave it a go on Sunday.  

These skate "walkers" are the best! Where were these when I learned to roller skate? 
Gage was feeling pretty confident when we were on the carpet. He was even doing some breakdancer moves. But...once we got on the wood floor, his attitude changed. He got scared. We made it 1/3 of the way around the rink and he decided to sit down and watch us. And then, he fell. That was it. He sat down and would not get back on the rink again. But...he did skate all over the carpeted floor, so at least he got back "in it".
And then there was savannah. They are like night and day, these two. Savannah was determined to get it. I skated with her for a bit, and then she decided to go around the rink by herself while I say with Gage for a few minutes. First, she went around with the walker and then she said "screw this walker" (okay, she didn't really say that) and went off on her own. Check her out...
