dylan, skates and jose.

went skating with mari at her little cousin, Dylan's Birthday party in Laurel.  it was so fun!  she says, why do we not do this all the time?! seriously, why dont we?
adults falling to the floor and having to be rescued by not one, but 5 emt's and actually rolled of the floor on a stretcher.  (surely that guy was just in need of attention. . .)
to 14 year old skate referees that enforced the law to a "t" in every instance.  maureen got kicked out of the 4 corners game for cheating.  i thought it was really funny.  when her number got rolled.  she politely skated to another corner to continue playing.  ahh, but no!  the striped shirt quickly spotted her, pointed and escorted her off the rink with the other losers.  lets see, i got in trouble for taking pictures while skating, wearing my sweatshirt around my waist (it was hot!) and racing with a little kid.
mari form tackled a little darling named diondre.  i am positive that 9 year old will relive that joy for many years to come. he got up with a huge smile on his face.
then there was jose.  that kid was awesome.  mari, jose and i played tag for the last 15 minutes and left jose permanently "it". ahh. . .it was so great.
next year, when i turn 33 (yes the age of jesus), i am having a huge 70's roller skate party at Lynnwood Roll a Way.  So get ready!

mari got me dancing like silly fool on the skating rink.  purple sweatshirt.  jose is the dark haired kid behind me with the grey tshirt.

i am a terrible video-er, but whatever.  i captured something. =)

this is the mass of howard county firefighters that came to rescue the dad that fell and just couldn't get up.  according to the funny kid at right, and the firefighter we asked this happens all the time.  atleast every tuesday  afternoon at the senior skate.  seriously 5 rescuers for a sprained ankle?  dude we laughed, hope they were laughing too.
