Ready to leave for Skate Land!
Excited to put the skates on!
As long as he stayed still he would not fall over!
Snail speed!
Thursday night was "Welcome back to School" at Skate Land in Mesa. That is all Cooper could talk about ever since he brought home the flyer. So we put it on the calendar and kept asking him if he was sure he wanted to go since he had never been there and had NO idea what it was or even how to skate? He was adamit about going so we did! First of all the place looks the exact same as it did 15-20 years ago (wow that just aged me) Secondly as soon as we got our skates on I almost fell over not knowing that 15 years and a lot of gravity later I was not so lite on my feet! Anyways Cooper got so excited when the skates were on that he tried right away to stand up and walk that he slipped and it was over... no more getting off the bench! I begged, I pleaded, I did what ever it was I could to get him on the rink in the middle to learn with me! NOPE! He must get that stubbornness from his dad... So the rest of the night I spent walking behind his little foot steps at snail speed just walking around as he pointed out kids in his class to me. He says he had a good time and wanted to know we did not bring our skates home with us?

I loved Skateland!! Tyler went there for a couple of his summer camp field trips and hated it. When I asked him why he said because he fell too much!! It looks like Cooper had fun though.
