Where was I...?

Ahh yes, so once you cross that barier from 2009 to 1966 you realize that it's about time they remodel the place. Of course they have all the things one would need for a trip to Skate World. Lots of glow sticks to purchase, socks (incase-God forbid- you forget yours...which I DON'T recommend. I would recommend however buying your own skates/blades...they are so NASTY to rent!) And lots of snacks to purchase at the snack bar!
While almost all of the kids did try to skate...the most surprising was as I was on my second time 'round here comes...my dad! Yea, that's right my dad was out there...and he wasn't just skating, he was roller blading...and he wasn't just roller blading...he was doing it BACKWARDS!!! It was great to see him out there though having fun with his grandkids!
Jen,Angela(friend not daughter) and I did the speed skate towards the end of the party, although speed was not what I had. I had been standing too long in my blades...(dishing out pizza, cupcakes, getting refills of pop in large pitchers...which yes, I still did in my roller blades...Jen and I laughed about that!!!) So I really should have relaced...oh well, I wasn't too bad out there! I just felt like I was going to fall with every turn. Plus it was my first real workout since having Bentley.
So after the speed skate they turn the music back on and Jen points out to me the most fantastic thing ever to hit the Skate World. Our session of skating came free with a professional skater entertainer. He popped right out of the 60's. He was a tall black man, wearing a striped shirt that had this glow to him as he skated under the disco ball in the center of the floor. Although there were tons of others skating, it was as though he was the only one on the floor. He was great! He did some pretty serious skating turns, he would start out forwards and turn himself backwards without even batting an eye! I thought it would have been perfect if he had a little can hanging from his belt for tips...he would have made a fortune!!! Once everyone from the party left Angela was out there skating and was dance skating with the man it was so ADORABLE!!!!
All in all the party was a great sucess. And if you ever want to go back to the 60's Skate World is the place to do it!
I'll post some pictures later...I'm having technical difficulties with uploading pics here...
