Happy Family Fun Day! Or, as it is often known - Happy Valentines Day! As you may already know, mine and Todd's anniversary is February 10th, so we don't really celebrate Valentines Day. Not much of a point since we celebrate our anniversary four days earlier. And, I am not a big believer that we are suppose to be loving one day a year...do we really need a holiday to celebrate that? It seems like we should do that every day.
Anyway, we are starting a new tradition this year - Valentines Day is now Family Fun Day. So, today we took the girls roller skating for the first time ever. We went to the skating rink in Bristol, TN. It was so much fun. The girls skate at home all the time, but they have never been to a skating rink. Todd is a former rollerblader, and I use to go skating all the time when Vance's skating rink was open in Coeburn, which was like a million years ago. We had a blast today. Todd and I quickly re-learned how to skate...it is kinda like riding a bike...easy to just start again. Molly did good. She took her time and just fell maybe two or three times. Kailey on the other hand tried to be a speed skater and fell about 200 times. I fell once, and it was because Kailey tried to hold on to me. That was a horrible idea...I am not good at helping others keep their balance. I have a hard enough time of that myself.
So, after skating we were all really tired. We went to Logan's to get a bite to eat, then headed home. All in all, I think it was the most wonderful Valentines Day I have ever had. I would love to do something like this every year. We are officially changing the meaning of Valentines Day...the people at Hallmark would have a fit!

I remember Vance's Skating Rink. We practically lived there on the weekends. See we probably meet each or at least skated by each other before we ever met...lol!
ReplyDeleteI think that you and your family celebrated the true meaning of Valentine's Day...it is a day to celebrate the ones you love. And you spent all day with your loved ones!
