Roller skating is not easy.
When we got home, Kaitlyn just had to try out her new skates.
Even though we’d bought the smallest kind they had, they are a little too big. Bill did his best to strap them on so they’ll stay. The pads are all kind of big, too, but they were the smallest ones at the store.
Kaitlyn took her new skates for a spin on the patio outside. She did pretty well. She fell a couple of times on her bottom… which fortunately comes with its own built-in padding.
Maybe if she gets the hang of it Mommy and Daddy can buy some skates. Then we’ll just have to find a flat place to go skating.
It probably wouldn’t work to skate down the road, as by the time you coasted up to 70mph downhill, control would be difficult.
