What a great birthday weekend! It all started on Friday May 25th, my birthday party with my family at my Mom and Dad's. We had a delicious spaghetti dinner. Then I was spoiled with birthday presents. It almost felt like Christmas to be honest. I received some wonderful gifts from everyone. The one present that I was totally surprised with was a brand new pair of roller blades from Andrei. We have been doing some rollerblading together, but it was a real struggle for me to keep up at times because my rollerblades were from 1990. They were a birthday present when I was in grade six. (Yes, they still fit) However, they were old technology, so it took a lot more work to get from one area to another. I would always get tired quicker, and they weren't that comfortable. In fact, the last time we went out down on the seawall by science world I had ankle blisters.
However, these ones are incredible to rollerblade in. It is so easy to be graceful and glide over the pavement. I don't even feel the bumpiness of the ground like I used to. I wasn't even sore. I think my blades are even better than Andrei's as we did the hill test, and I travelled farther than Andrei despite Andrei having the weight advantage. Here are some favourite photos from my birthday weekend!
