On Wheels...

Deacesa and I

My second outting with my mentee Deacesa was roller skating. I have to say I was both nervous about breaking a bone and excited because this was something I did every single weekend for years. I had flashbacks of Skateland Paradise in Dayton Kentucky, my best friend Jen and I wearing the matching sweaters with tights that had sturr-ups, big hair bangs, and skating to the sounds of Billy Ray Cyrus. That's right I said it; I am NOT ashamed, lol. I was 12, I cannot take the blame.

This trip roller skating would not be in Dayton but in Cincinnati at the Fun Factory. The crowd was different, the music was different, but to my surprise my skating skills remained the same. Deacesa and I had a blast and I was glad she was able to skate and have fun without holding my hand the entire time! This may be something that I start doing on a regular basis. It's one of Deacesa's favorite things to do and it's good cardio, lol.
