Learning to Roller Blade!

Another thing we did when Heather was in Germany was skate! Grace loves to skate. And she does pretty good as long as you hold her hands!

We practiced on the hockey court because the surface is nice and smooth and there is little or no traffic. Most of the time we are the only ones there, so we don't have to worry about getting run over.

And next to the hockey rink is a skate park where big boys do cool tricks. Grace likes to watch them, too! She especially likes it when they fall and get up and try and try again until they perfect the trick they are working on. She's very impressed that they never cry!

I think this skater is her favorite. He doesn't fall much, and he goes the highest when flying off the top of the half pipe.
