9/52: Skater Girl + Weekend Things

I took Ada roller skating for the first time Wednesday. There’s a little rink on the other side of town, and they have this cute open ride time for small children. You can bring scooters, bikes, etc. -- and they play music and shine black lights. It was just what we needed when preschool was canceled yet again.

Isn’t she the cutest thing ever?
