My seven-year-old daughter and four-year-old son were just invited to their first roller skating birthday party. A wave of nostalgia came over me as we walked through the rink’s doors. The music, the lights, the skates all took me back! When I was a kid, I used to love lacing up my skates to go to our local rink or even go up and down the sidewalk in front of our house. How had I missed sharing this classic American pastime with my children??
When the birthday party ended, I vowed we would go roller skating again. And again. And again! Fortunately, they agreed with me. My internet sleuthing uncovered all kinds of great rinks in East Tennessee to go roller skating. (I was genuinely surprised how many there are.) I knew I had to share what I learned on Knoxville Moms. I hope you and your family have as much fun as we did on wheels!
