another excellent adventure

I decided to take the kids roller skating one Wednesday morning. I'm not sure what I was thinking doing it by myself. You'd think I'd learn that I need back up for these kind of adventures :) We get to the skate deck and of course my side by side stroller does not fit through the doors. I am holding onto Allie's hand as I have the stroller in the other, and Trevor is holding onto Kara's hand. Of course neither of the girls want to be holding hands with us. They decide to sit down in the middle of the parking lot not budging. Finally Trevor and I are able to get them going again, pulling them across the parking lot. We finally get in and skate for awhile. Trevor had a blast. As we start to leave a nice gentleman that works there informs us they do in fact have a wide door on the side of the building they can open for us so I don't have to fold up the stroller and drag the kids across the parking lot again. Why didn't they bother to tell us the first time we went? I had taken the kids numerous times and this was the first time in over a year they informed us on the side door. At least I know for next time.

After skating I took the kids to the Golden Corral. A friend met up with us, which was great as it wouldn't have been possible without another adult since we were at a buffet. As I was holding one of the girls, I was carrying the tray of drinks to the table. Once I got to the table I dropped the tray and the drinks. Liquid went everywhere! The table, chairs, floor, the table next to us... Of course our waitress was my old boss. She cleaned up most of the mess for us. I put the girls in their high chairs and went to get towels to clean up my mess. As I did this, I bumped into the wet floor sign and knocked it down too with a loud thud! If my cheeks weren't red already, they were now! As we were leaving Trevor wanted a tortilla to take on the road. I said yes, as I was packing up the girls he decided to make an ice cream roll up... Fun times! The day did end up getting better thank goodness!
