Ahhhhh, memories. Reading this post took me right back to my 9, 10, 11 year-old birthday parties. The late 80′s…

I likened the smell more to dirty mop water

So funny Kelli! I went with some friends and our kids on Sunday afternoon in Glendale! I loved it! OMG, the rink smelled exactly as icky as I assume it did 20 years ago.

I started out shaky but got my “sea” legs back after about an hour and felt like I was 12 again. I was much more sore than I remember from years ago but we are DEFINITELY going back in the not so distant future.

I am even toying with buying myself roller blades to use around my neighborhood. I would still rent the skates at the rink when I go because I think they work much better in a rink setting.

Wow, I haven’t been to a skating rink in ages… and I wasn’t very good at it when I did go as I kid. I can only imagine the awkwardness that I would exude now. Did you “couples skate” with anyone under the disco ball and/or black light?

Too fun. I took our brownie troop roller skating this fall. I’m trying to find a free saturday afternoon to go back.

Haha…when we were doing youth ministry we used to do skate nights and it would always crack me up to see some people my age who obviously went pretty often and liked to show off their skills. I was always so awkward out there. And yes, that smell….so crazy how it seriously does not change.
