Of course no child is perfect, but Austin is a pretty good kid. He is overall mellow and easy going. He gets along well with others and is a good friend. He is a good helper around the house and likes to play with his little sisters (most days). His favorite things are playing computer and kindle, playing soccer, playing basketball in his room, and throwing a football with his dad. He likes to watch sports with his dad and his favorite teams are OSU, OU, and OKC thunder. His favorite is OSU and he will wear an OSU t-shirt to school anytime he has a clean one in his closet. One funny thing about Austin is we have caught him sleep talking and even sleep walking. He has done this for years. Usually, we will be watching TV and he will just walk out into the living room in a daze, maybe mumble something and then we will tell him to go back to bed which he does. Other times we will hear him talking from his room and go in there and carry on the conversation with him which most of the time doesn't make any sense. But it always gives us a good laugh.
We gave Austin a couple options for his birthday and he liked the idea of roller-skating/roller-blading. Austin and Mikayla had been doing roller-skating in school at gym for the last couple months so they were both excited about it.
Let the skating begin!!
Mikayla even surprised me. She just got out there on the floor without any help and did her best. She definitely wasn't the fasted skater but she did a great job!
Kambria did great for her first time skating too.....but this little skating device made it even easier!

This place even had a few arcade games. Mikayla was thrilled when she hit the jackpot on this game and got over 100 tickets.
Back to skating!
Austin really had a great time! He was skating almost non-stop from beginning to end.
I also enjoyed doing some skating with the kids myself. Don't think I have done any skating since I was in high-school. It was fun!
And I think Craig had just as much fun as the kids did. I didn't get any good pictures of him skating but he was out there just as much as the kids were.
It really was the perfect activity for these kids. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
