Roller Skating!

Yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so no school for the kids and no work for Paul. With the free day, Paul did a thing that utterly baffled me: He took the kids to the roller skating rink.

Needless to say I'm not a fan. I liked it as a kid. I even went once in college and enjoyed myself. But Edith has been to two birthday parties there in the last few months, and I can definitively say it's not my cup of tea. Loud, crowded plus exercise? Not for me.

Atticus had never been roller skating, but Edith loves it. LOVES IT. And Edith hardly even had to convince Paul at all. Off they went.

Paul said that by the end of the session, Edith was skating fairly well and Atticus had the basics down. I stayed home and cleaned. Which I still like better than the skating rink.
