Friday nights around these parts are being spent skating. It's a nice way to wind down a week of work and school. We skate in circles, we tell stories, we make plans, we joke around, we laugh, we hold hands, and we hold each other up. I think to myself as we go round and round that we are so lucky to be skating and letting loose. We're lucky we have one another and these moments. It's the four of us against the world. To make the night last longer, we follow it up with fancy hot chocolates at Starbucks, then we slowly drive home in the dark. We dump our skates in the foyer, and we change into our pyjamas and get cozy under blankets and watch movies. The teen is not in these pictures as she is the one snapping away because on this particular Friday night, her feet were sore, and if you've ever argued with a teenager, you would know it's pointless. :)
Here's to five more days 'til our next skate.

Sounds like fun . . . you've just added something else I should go do today - sharpen my skates!
hi there, couldn't help popping in after seeing the name of your blog. we're in the balkans too. which country are you in?
What a nice way to spend family time. We keep meaning to go to free skate with the boys, now that Mack is finally on skates.
So fun! and i'm a little jealous... I wish there were more available public skating here but it seems the rink space is all occupied at all times. I miss my small hometown with its public skating!
