Let me just brag about this little roller rink for one minute; Morton Roller Rink is in Morton, IL, just about 15 minutes from where we live. The rink is just a simple, rectangle building. Inside is a small area with picnic tables and then the rink is an old wooden floor. I loved that we were allowed to bring our own in-line skates to use. I also loved that they let parents walk (no skates on) around the rink, holding their little one's hands while they skated. What I loved about this little rink the most is that they played Christian music the entire time we were there. It was such a nice environment to be in for a few hours.

Skating Birthday Party
While the Riggs family was up here visiting, Jaxon was invited to his friend, Brieg's, birthday party. We decided to leave Dakota at home with Jason's family, so Jason and I could spend some 1-on-1 time with Jaxon (or 2-on-1 I guess). It was nice to have a few hours with our little man and see him roller skate for the first time.

How cute is that little guy?! I just had to get a picture of his tiny skates.

Jaxon and Brieg's big sister, Sage. I didn't get a picture of the birthday boy - oops!
Jax and Daddy skating. Jax was pretty unsure at first and wanted to hold our hands (tightly) the entire time. Then Jason encouraged him to skate around the carpeted area for awhile and that really helped him gain his confidence. By the time we were ready to leave, Jax was skating by himself!
