A good day
My dad is in town again, which is the only reason I was brave enough to suggest we go skating. Having an extra adult around makes so many things easier, and gave Rex and I the opportunity to make a couple rounds on our own.
I think we're going to regret it tomorrow.
By the time we left, all three adults were worn out. Ankles weak, backs sore, thighs burning. Part of that can be blamed on hunching over, helping the girls to skate, Katie especially since she's about three inches taller than a Chihuahua. The rest, well, let's just say that we're all a little less in shape than we could be.
It was fun, though. When someone else was helping Katie, I could see the big smile on her face. And while Jamie wasn't too thrilled with me when I tried to encourage her to do more than stand up and hang on, I saw some big smiles on her face, too. Better yet, there weren't any real tantrums.
