I took the boys out last weekend to the park near the YMCA. I don't think we've been to this one since last year. It has roller hockey rink with a smooth, flat surface and a couple of goals in it. It's a perfect place to let them run wild since it also sports doors that lock.
I tried to teach Noah to roller blade here last year, and he did pretty well. He's forgotten it since then - we haven't practiced much in the last year - but he really wanted to do it again. I turned Elliot loose with his bicycle, and after they both got tired of those sports, we played soccer.
After a snack, we played on the playground for awhile, climbed trees, rode bikes and roller-bladed again. While neither of them wanted to leave, I was pretty tired by the end of it.
