One of the super fun things about my cousin Lorinda homeschooling her daughter Anissa, at what I like to call "The Sheppard's School for Girls," is the field trips. They made a ginger bread house for one of their projects. Good job ladies.
Today's field trip was at Skate Plaza. This was Taylor's first time on roller skates. This was my first time back in my roller blades since I broke both of my arms at this very skating rink, 10 years earlier. Taylor knows about my little incident, so we came well prepared.
Taylor was a little hesitant at first, we tried practicing on the carpet and on a little floor near some tables by the end of the rink.
Taylor made a friend and became a little braver.
Anissa is pretty fearless, and doesn't mind falling either. She just gets right back up and at it.
Taylor and I circled the rink several times like this...
All it took was Anissa asking Taylor if she was really skating and saying that it didn't really look like she was for Taylor to become motivated to only hold my hand and go as fast as her little skates could take her. She was very determined to have Anissa see how she was doing. A little competition really gets this girl moving. It was a very fun day!! We love our field trips with the Sheppard's School for Girls.
