This evening Joe was invited to his classmate Brandon's birthday party at the Roller Garden! Readers may be interested to know that the Roller Garden was built in 1930 for horse shows and over the decades has been used for tennis and of course rollerskating. This was Joe's second visit to the Roller Garden so when Julie brought him inside he was quick to tell her he was a size 1 skate, laced them up and was off to the rink barely looking back. At pick up he was enjoying a piece of pumpkin pie (apparently Brandon's favorite because this was discussed all week) but then went back out to roll. He also discovered the benefit of using a "triangle" which is a type of walker on wheels to help kids learning to skate. You can see from the picture that the Roller Garden has the requisite neon lights, disco balls, and the like. It also plays your standard popular music by which to roll. It is amazing the place exists, but on a cold Wednesday evening there was a respectable crowd including a first grade birthday party!
