It’s not like riding a bike!

[Scott Engelhardt]

Went roller skating with the grand kids today. I used to go quite often when I was young, but it has been 30 years and it is not like riding a bike.
Man took me about a half hour just to remember how to get moving. I did not fall so that was impressive. I’m not sure I will be able to walk tomorrow though! Ankles are going to kill me.
This is me and my little sweetie.

The memories are worth all the soreness in the world.

You have bigger balls than I do. I wouldn't even consider it these days.
However, if I had a cute little Grand Daughter like that, I bet she could persuade me.

Great to see you involved, it’s making memories.
When my girl was about eight or so to about 14 I bought a bike just so I could go for a ride with her after work. Some days I was tired and didn’t feel like it, but we went and I enjoyed it. We went literally every single day in the summer. Now at age twenty two she still remembers those rides, and we still hang out. Your grandchild will remember these times fondly after you are gone.

I feel the pain. Got back on skates last month for the first time in about 15 years. Played Ice hockey with my son and grand kids. Probably not the smartest thing for me being 66. Yes I fell. Yes my knee still hurts a month later. Yes it was fun and I'll do it again.

Grandkids can talk you into all sorts of stuff you'd swear otherwise you'd never consider...
pretty awesome if you ask me.

Just one of those days...
