fun on wheels

January 24th, 2007 at 07:10 pm

Just had to post about the fun morning I had. I found out a few weeks ago that a local roller skating rink has a "toddler" morning on Wednesdays. From 9-11, for $2 (includes skate rentals), you can take your kids there, with or without a stroller, to have fun. I LOVE it. A few weeks ago, I took my niece (4) and ds1 (3) to teach them how to skate. There was only 2 other people there, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. When the kids got tired of skating, I took their skates off and they RAN RAN RAN. Meanwhile, I got to skate, which turns out to be incredibly good exercise (especially when you are out of shape). Today I went back with the kids, including my youngest (age 2), who we pushed in stroller around the rink. My mom went too and got some exercise in. Much more fun and cheaper than a gym.
I am so glad to have found this and encourage everyone else to look around for the great deals to enjoy. If I can find one in this small town, you might have your own gem hiding near you Smile

    That sounds like an awesome idea! Too bad I could never keep my balance. I am totally challenged at it. Sounds like a fun idea for kids and adults together!

    We have a local rink and they run deals like that too. It's a big place for senior citizens to go for their exercise...

    Our local rink used to have a program like that when the kids were small. It was so much fun. Ours cost $3 per child but parents skated free. It is great exercise. I've thought about buying myself a pair of skates over the years to use in my neighborhood, in-line skating just isn't my thing.
