A Date with Roller Skates

A couple of Saturdays ago was Lydia's birthday party at Skate World. It was so fun! Every kid that she invited was able to come (a first for her parties--usually someone's sick or busy or gone) and they all had fun skating. Lydia was a little scared at first. She didn't want to let go of the wall because she was afraid of falling, but eventually she gained a little more confidence and had some fun. She only fell eight times, she told me, so that was pretty good. Her little friends were so cute--some had never skated before and fell quite a few times, but got right back up. We had our party "area" for 45 minutes where we ate hotdogs, cotton candy, root beer and chocolate cake. Then Lydia opened her presents. By this time the kids were ready to get back out and skate.

It was SO NICE to not have to plan anything (except the cake) and then just show up and have everything ready to go. Why didn't I do these kinds of parties earlier? :)
