Are we too old for roller blading? Roller blading is one of Neil and mine’s favorite activities. Now that the weather is finally cooperating, we dusted off our roller blades yesterday afternoon. We like to go on the trail near the golf course and Logan River but yesterday we just decided to go around our neighborhood. To my dismay we got all sorts of weird looks from the children who were out riding bikes or razor scooters. Now I am not one to be intimidated by eight year olds but seriously is it that weird to see two adults roller blading? Do kids not even roller blade any more?
I remember when I was like 12 and it was the cool thing to roller blade. My friends and I went roller blading almost everyday! Plus, it didn’t hurt that a lot of cute boys roller bladed in our neighborhood and did cool tricks. In fact I think roller blading was still cool when I was in high school because that is what Neil, Ian and I did all summer as well. The trail behind Lagoon was the best. We even went to the local Classic skating during the winter. Then the tradition at that time was to get a slurpee at 7-11 afterwards. Slurpees were way cool back then too. Now, it’s all about Jamba Juice.
Maybe roller blading is no longer cool but we are still going to do it and we are even going to get slurpees the next time we go.

As long as you guys enjoy roller blading together...it's cool. :)
Ted and I like to walk around the neighborhood and look at homes being built or we go for drives looking at homes for sale in areas we wouldn't mind living. :)
ha ha I remember that... mostly watching the hot guys and thinking we were cool that we could jump over the sewer covers backwards. I also remember you getting hurt once
