Skating fun – Living Arrows – 4/52

January 26, 2015 by admin 21 Comments

I’ve struggled with my photos this weekend, they looked great as I was taking them and I was really starting to feel like I’d started to get the hang of balancing the ISO and aperture, but when I came to view them on the big screen I was very disappointed.

These are the best of the bunch, but on the bright side I had a great time roller-skating with the kids. As it turns out Z is tough teacher, forcing me out from my safety net of the soft, cushioned park surface onto the tarmac, which on brand new, super slippy skates was pretty terrifying. Little H held my hand around the park, telling me to push, push, glide. I even got a Good Girl Mummy at the end.

The first two are a rare capture of Z and S having fun together, usually our house is very much split into boys and girls, but over the last few months I’ve started to notice the age gap seem to lessen as they’ve bonded over Match Attax football cards. Despite their differences over the years, I know they always look out for each other, I’ll never forget the time at soft play when a little S turned to a boy much taller then her who wasn’t being nice to Z and told him off, for such a tiny girl she can be very fierce when she wants to be.

    I want a chicken hat! How grown up do they look skating, I can not imagine my two ever getting off the floor from the first tumble. Lovely pictures.

    What lovely photos. I love that you got a ‘good girl mummy’ at the end of your skating session.

    I had to do a bit of a double take when I saw your photos because the scenery looks exactly like the Heath where I live!

    They look like very lovely photos to me, and you lost me with the technical jargon at the top – this is why I am too scared to by a posh camera as I know I will have no idea what to do with it!

    Oh those photos are still beatiful. I know what you mean about the heart in the mouth when they go off, let alone when you’re skating too. Mine are on blades and I couldn’t entertain the idea of having a go myself, so you’re a braver woman than I! So glad you got out and about and it’s an activity that crosses the sex and age divide! x

    I really love your photos, so lovely to see their bond strengthening. My daughter would love to go skating but I fear she doesn’t have the coordination for it.

    I want a hat like that! Not surer I’d be up to the roller-skating though – can you get stabilisers for skates? And don’t your pictures – they are beautiful! x x
