The Matthews Family: Skating, really?

Skating, really?

I've been meaning to post about this since our niece's birthday party on September 12th. Jud's twin sister's daughter, Gracie, turned 3 on September 11th. So, Jud's sister rented a local church's life center for the party, which has roller skates and rollerblades for people to skate in the gym there. Well, part way through the party, I walk into the gym to see this:

Are you kidding me?? MY HUSBAND is putting on rollerblades?

Yep, he put them on, grinned and grabbed the door facing!

Going to skate on the carpet!! He thought it would be easier.

Was it? I guess, until his dad sent him back to the gym. It only took a few minutes after that for him to take them off!! But, it was very funny to watch him!! I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did when I saw him! I just wish that I had it on video!

Good night, Everyone!!
