Skateland!

It was another Family Night for Maya's school at Skateland! Maya brought the flyer home at the beginning of February and couldn't quit talking about it. Saying that she was excited doesn't even begin to describe her feelings about Skateland events.


Maya and Fin both declared that since I didn't have Zuzu in my belly anymore that I could skate this time. Thankfully I was able to use the "someone has to stay with Zuzu" excuse this time. I'm not sure how much longer I will be able to get away with that. At some point, I'm afraid, I will have to try skating after a 30 year break!

Maya really got the hang of skating this time around. She came running up to me at some point during the night and said, "Mom I've got it! I know how to do it! I can skate!" She was ecstatic!!!

Eventually, Maya took the bull by the horns and figured it out!

Sometimes Fin just cracks me up.
