Oh, to be 14 again.

Holland, me, Sarah, Jon, Dan, Josh and Megan.

Last night we went out all wild and crazy like you should on a Friday night and you know what we did!? We went ICE SKATING! You know what is hilarious?! We were the oldest stinkin' people there! 


Many of us were just staring at the kids in amazement because it really does not seem like it was that long ago when we were that young. You could see the groups form, girls fixing their friends'  hair and the boys being silly and trying to get each other into trouble. One thing I do not recall doing as a 14 year old is carrying my cell phone with me while trying to skate with what felt like pvc pipes attached to my feet..... I felt like at least half of these kids did. 


Some had on headphones-which we all agreed was totally unsafe because how can you hear someone shouting at you to watch out or get out of the way? Some girls were texting and skating, some kept handing their phones off to each other to talk to their friends who I guess was grounded and could not make it out to skate.  I almost skated over a cell phone that slid across the ice from a not so great pass from one kid to another. Holland said he wanted to hit the phones out of their hands and yell "ENJOY LIFE, PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN!" All in all it was pretty funny and also crazy to think these kids weren't even born yet when we were their age! EEK. 


We had two pro skaters with us last night. Dan and Megan whooped every one of us on the ice. Speed skating and then skating backwards! Sarah and I looked like we were grannies who needed  one of these things in front of us. 

I am happy to say that we were much improved towards the end and we blame the pvc pipe feeling skaters we had to wear. 


After skating we went to Drew's which was great. We tried to macaroni and cheese balls which are like cheese sticks but with macaroni and cheese.  Many people wanted to try the pizza they were famous for which is a pizza which farm fresh eggs cracked on top! I did not try it but everyone said they liked it but maybe not for an entire meal. 
We were all extremely full from all the food and then our waiter brought out two complimentary slices of cake. One was chocolate everything and the other was carrot. I did not get a picture of it because even though we were all very full, both slices were devoured within minutes. I would describe the chocolate cake looking identical to the one that the little boy is forces to eat in the movie Matilda. Holy Jesus was it delicious but it truly did us all in. We all had food bellies and were done until they brought out our checks with cotton candy. Beautiful Blue make you feel like a 14 year old cotton candy.

The carrot cake is in this picture! 

Dan playing with his cotton candy! Notice there is no more carrot cake!

Holland looks really excited about this!

We may not be 14 years old anymore, but it sure is fun to relive those moments of how it is to be 14 again.  I am sure all of our legs and hips are paying for the ice skating we did last night, but we already made plans to do all the other things we miss. Next up: Laser tag, roller skating and Amazing jump!
