Thorn,

The Roller Derby had families with children at the event...a fun event for kids too!

For me, when I was at your D's age, I'd spend my weekends with schoolmates at the local rollerskating rink and lose myself there for hours at end. A fun memory for me! Well...except that one incident with an older student swiped my skates from behind that caused me to fall down and hit my face. And would you know that the very next day was school-picture day?! I had to skip it as I had a very bad bruise on my face so had to reschedule it for another time. frown

How about taking up a new pursuit/hobby? Running? Hiking? Watercoloring? Dungeons & Dragons?
