Caleb's Skating Birthday Party!

Caleb wanted to have a birthday party at the skating rink this year. I was thinking how fun, let's do it.

Then we got there and all 9 kids had never been skating before and I paniced thinking..."no one is going to have fun!"

It'a a good thing that kids are resilent and they all headed out there and took to it like a fish to water.

They had a blast.

WE had cake and ice cream and rootbeer. Good and sugared they...
Headed out to skate. It was a little hairy at first. Sam and Noah were such goof balls and made it fun for everyone!

Here's the birthday boy waiting in line to do the limbo! Yes it was skating complete with the limbo AND the hocky pokey!

The kids thought it was so great and new...for those of us who have been around a long time though, it was old news!

Even Max did great skating. I really didn't have to help anyone, so it was good.

Here is Noah coming out of the limbo. Do you see the stick? Can you believe he went under it without touching it?

Caleb did to, in fact Caleb and Noah were the last ones in. They even beat the girls who couldn't get down low enough because they had on skirts that were way too tight. Come on, they were only 8-10. (Okay I am now off my soap box, but really do my boys even have a chance? The girls...)

Opening gifts! Caleb got money and he was so happy with all his gifts. I was glad he exercised his good manners!

We never could get Ryan to put on skates, but we will be going back as a family to skate, even if Ryan did say when we left..."Does anyone besides me feel like they need to go home and shower?"

It was a little "dated"

And the roller skates were so ...

but it was so fun!
