Erin got a pair of roller skates for her birthday (thank you, Darla!!), something she'd been asking for. Roller skating looks a lot easier than it is. I remember learning to roller skate at the local roller rink when I was about her age. My learning process consisted of hanging on to the hand rail and pulling myself along the perimeter of the rink. If I lost my balance, I would just hang on to the hand rail. Erin is learning on our back patio, which has no hand rails, so Mommy and Daddy are her substitute hand rails. Her she is right after she got her skates on.
And Daddy helping her take her first tentative steps.....
Now Erin tries it on her own.....
But takes her first of many spills.....
Before she finally got the hang of it.
Honestly, she didn't get the hang of it. She still doesn't have the hang of it. I just like happy endings. And this picture makes it look like she's really skating.

My goodness!!!! That brings back memories for me! I was a roller skating princess and basically slept in my skates! How fun. If we did not have gravel everywhere I would still use my roller blades.
And the bird was a sharp shinned hawk. I think my picture was a little too small. The most fun was all the big raptors that were everywhere!
Thanks so much for visiting and taking a moment to comment! :)
Happy endings, they're the best. She does look happy.
