Nicole's Birthday Party at Skateland

We've been running through ideas on how to celebrate Nicole's birthday party.  We wanted to combine it with Fitzy but she really didn't seem to care all that much about it.  We came up with wine tasting at Uncork and Unwind, same place as last year, and some skating at Skateland.  I haven't been there since January 2012.

I decided not to go to the wine place mostly because I work on Saturdays and I needed to go home first to change, eat food and grab the roller blades.  I thought it would be fun to film some of it on the Go Pro, so I got that ready.  I grabbed Nicole's birthday gift and headed out.  I texted Amber to see if she wanted to come since she was in town until January 3rd.  She responded with, "where are you guys?"  I was within minutes of the place.

I paid my $4.50 and went inside to try and find everyone.  Megan, Matt, Amber, David, Celeste and Nicole were all inside getting their skates on.  I was the only one who brought their own.  Nicole was the first one to fall on her butt and we weren't even on the rink yet.  But then again, I am not sure how much wine they had earlier.

We skated from about 7:30 until 9 off and on.  They played games, had couples skating and we played around with the Go Pro, visited and laughed a lot at Nicole and Celeste.

I am so lucky to have gotten this shot of Celeste as she falls into the side of the rink.

And of Nicole and Amber laughing at her.

It was a fun night.  Plus, we got to do something different we normally don't do when we all hang out.  I guess we are trying to broaden our horizons a bit while the weather is cold and or rainy.  I stopped by Nicole's house with my present and we visited for a few hours.
