2/17 - IMS AZ Marathon & Skateland

2/17 - completed my 2nd marathon in a month.. Check out details in another blog (http://www.mycoolrunning.blogspot.com/)

Came home after the run. Decided to bring the kids to Skateland since they have discount program on in view of President Day holiday. Just me, Jadyn and Jaden. The mommy went shopping elsewhere. US$7 for entry, $7 for skate rental, and another $10 for the 2 skate-aid that serves like a walker.

Was there at 2.30pm and left around 3.45pm. Had the most stressful 1 hour managing them as they had hard time to move. What to expect. This is their very first time putting on a skate !

Jadyn did pretty well, after 15mins or so, she bravely ventured into the ring. Some fumblings later, she was able to complet the loop and in the end, she completed ~8 loops.. Pretty remarkable for a first timer !

Jaden was the opposite. Had difficulty moving even with the Skate-Aid. Somehow, he could not grasp the technique and I can't help either !  So ended up with him just trying and moving at the ring-side. He was feeling quite sad and disappointed. Always the next time though....

Jaden's expression tells it all. Jadyn was OK, successfully made 8 rounds in the ring
