Roller Skating

I didn't make it into any of the pictures from this day.  We went to a Hang 10 Roller Skating party.  Hang 10 groups are what the kids join at church and it guarantees they will have the same leader each week and the same group of kids.  Not everyone chooses to join a group because they don't want to commit to a service (we have 4).  I like it because my kids aren't very good at change and this keeps it consistent for them.  Anyway, they had an end of the year party at the skating rink.  Here is Grace with one of the teachers in her class.  I went alone and couldn't help both kids.  This was the 1st time they had been roller skating.  Thankfully this young girl was more than willing to help me out.  She is such a sweet heart.  I believe we first met her almost 4 years ago when Andrew was 3.  She was a teacher in his class.  We adore her!  She helped Grace around 4 or 5 times.

 This was how Andrew felt most comfortable in skates.....sitting!  They couldn't tighten the wheels so he had a VERY hard time and couldn't keep his feet under him.  We only made it around 1 time before we were done.

 Grace with both of her teachers.  He actual leader is on the right.  She'll be with her again next year!

Andrew watching.  I think he really wanted to be able to skate but it just wasn't working out.  Maybe we'll try again sometime.

Performance

The kids performed at church last week and it was sooooo cute! I wish I had a short video on my camera but it's all on the regular video camera and the last time I tried to get the video on my computer I almost threw the camera and computer out the window! It's a simple step that I miss every single time I attempt the download. Anyway, here's a couple pics. They dressed like cowboys (and cowgirls) b/c one of the songs they sang and danced to sounded like country. It was so much fun to see them on stage. Grace danced a little. She kept moving, not necessarily the right moves but she did her best. Andrew never stopped smiling and knew all the moves and just had a blast! It's so awesome that the kids learn these moves and get to dance to the songs. Such an awesome (and fun) way for them to worship Jesus!
