Meet the Abercrombie’sJamon … Jen … Taylor … Jordan (and a few others sprinkled in)

Well, Jordan and Taylor had never been on skates before, and Jen and I hadn’t had roller blades on since college (almost 10 years), so this was an interesting night! It was a night that started and finished with injury.

Jordan did pretty good, even going backwards once … Taylor looked like a newborn giraffe.

From Jordan kicking Taylor in the eye with his skate to me tripping over Taylor and having my lower leg bend in a way that is not natural … it was a fun evening.

There is no way we could compete for a roller championship with ATL (you know, the movie – Atlanta – skate rink – just watch this).

“Better than a fruit basket …”

we saw this sign

now, it’s probably not pronounced the way i’m pronouncing it in my head, but change that second ‘O’ to an ‘E’ and let the hillarity ensue!

Jake is five and learning to read. He points at a picture in a zoo book and says,

“Look Mama! It’s a frickin’ elephant!”

Deep breath … “What did you call it?”

“It’s a frickin’ Elephant, Mama! It says so on the picture!”

and so it does …

“A f r i c a n Elephant”
