Our kids LOVED skating! Eva's rollers were pretty tight so it didn't take her very long to venture off without holding on to anyone. By the end of the night she was lifting up one leg and trying to spin around like Ice Princess.
I had to take Caleb's skates back to be tightened because his first couple of times around about killed me and Carl. We couldn't hold him up.
Once his skates were fixed he became a little more daring. He even played Limbo.
The kids got pretty good about going around the rink so I turned my attention to the raffles and silent auction. I bought 10 raffle tickets. I put them in the buckets for $25 to the movies, $30 to a hairstylist, $45 for a pedicure from heaven (my own wording). I won the haircut & style. AWESOME! It is for Classic Styles which is within walking distance of my house (48th & Calvert for the locals). The owner has a child with autism. I can't wait for my last haircut disaster to grow out enough to make it worth going!
They also had a bunch of t-shirts leftover from the walk that they were giving away.
I got 10. I gave some to the girls that go with us on our Safari outings and Mary.
There was also a silent auction for this quilt.
I won it. I'm almost embarrassed about how little I actually paid for it. I certainly could not have made it for that price. I absolutely love it and this quilt was actually the inspiration for finding the pattern and talking about it here.
It was an awesome afternoon and we had such a great time. It was an excellent way to celebrate Father's Day.
That's cool. I'm all over the reasonable music and un-psychotic lights. Wish I could find something like that here for my son. I love it.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love that quilt too! Some people have all the luck;)
ReplyDeleteChristy and Carl,
ReplyDeleteWe are so excited to find your blog (through a comment on Tracy's)! The last time we saw you both, you had just picked up Caleb, and now look, you have two beautiful little ones. Reading your blog made me realize how long it has been since I have been roller skating. It looks like you all had a great time! We look forward to keeping up with you through your blog.
Sharon and Robby
HI SHARON! Your family sure has grown since we last saw you! I'm so happy to see how things have turned out. I hope you like Indiana! We sure did!
ReplyDeleteI'm so relieved your bottom is still intact. When I saw the roller skating pictures I was immediately concerned about your rear.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. I learned my lesson from last time! I think my skating days are over.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You're pretty lucky, and that's a GREAT quilt.
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictures as usual. I'm glad you had a good time. And that quilt is GORGEOUS.
