Ward party Skateland

Almost every year our ward goes to skateland in the March or April. It is a great tradition. I remember being pregnant with Keagan and going (and not skating). It is great fun for everyone regardless if you skate or not. We pretty much have the skating rink to ourselves. Just use the bathroom before you go, I don't think they have updated it in the last 30 years! Ewww! Good thing we have such good company!!

One of the girls helping another with her skates.
One of the great things about this outing is that adults can take their little ones skating in the strollers. Sadly this is the last time I skated was when Keagan was in the stroller. I was never very steady on skates and I don't want to fall!

Keagan finally getting so he skate a little with out falling! :)

I love this one of Greg Martin and "his" boys. He is in the YM presidency and the scout master. He has such a good repor with the YM!

Every year they have races, which are great fun to watch, this year they had the first Stroller races, I see a new tradition coming!

The start of the stroller races

More races, the adults

Of course I like these because my handsome husband is racing! :)

This picture didn't turn out too well, but it shows the YW huddled up together watching the races. I love our YW and how they love each other! (And Brooklyn who used to be in our ward!)

See, you don't have to skate to have a good time!

Ahhh.. the snack bar.

A lot of our youth hanging out and skating together.

My niece, Aurora came along

If you don't skate you can dance!

Melissa and one of her best friends Brooklyn. They have known each other since they were born. They are only 1.5 months apart. Melissa is blessed to have so many good friends close to her age!

Celeste getting her skates fixed. One of the great things for little kids is that you can get your skate's wheels tightened so it is easier to skate and not fall.

Another great thing about this activity is that it has been a tradition for such a long time we get friends that have moved that come back for our skate party. What fun to see the Douglas family!

I love to see everyone helping each other too! Haley and Zane!
