rollerblading fun

Second rollerblading adventure with Mel... extremely fun and amusing! So i wake up and i text Mel, "Do you want me to rollerblade to your house?". She calls me back and goes, "How about, INSTEAD of rollerblading to my house, you DRIVE to my house, and bring me to the hospital. Right now i am locked out of both my house and car, and i am staring at my keys inside of my car through the window".

So i go to pick her up and i bring her to the hospital (cuz her mom works there and has keys), and at this point she's not really worried about her car or her house, she is more worried about the fact that her rollerblades are IN her car, and that she is not able to access them lol. So we get that sorted out, and we finally get to go blading!!

So we park at Prairie Winds and try out this route i've never taken before... "Whitehorn Pathway" lol. It was so much fun!! The path was relatively FLAT the entire way, which is good for us being beginners and all. It was such a beautiful day! I can officially say that i have mastered the art of using the BRAKES. The only thing is, i have to START braking like 10 minutes before i actually want to STOP hahahaha. I think i've got the hang of it tho! I almost feel PRO!

So anyways, after about half an hour of blading, our ears perk up at the sound of the icecream man coming down the street. We can see him clearly, yet we are still too far away to actually stop him to buy some icecream. So what do we do? We started to frantically wave our arms up in the air in high hopes that maybe he'd see us and wait lol. And he DID!

So after a 5 minute struggle to actually GET to the icecream truck (the pathway was cracked and steep), we finally make it to the truck, only to be beaten by a couple of little kids. So we watch in amusement as the children buy their icecream (they didn't know how to count their money), and then finally it's our turn!

First of all, this icecream man looks rather shady. Melissa and i make our choices... we go for the "Mega Missile" popsicles, which i swear back in the day used to be called "Rocket". Cheap imitation! Anyways, so each Mega Missile is $2.50. So i pull out 5 loonies and hand it to the icecream guy. He stares at the money in his hand and goes, "This is only 5 dollars. Where is my tip!?". At first i thought he was just joking with us, so i laugh and say, "Do kids usually tip you!?". And then he just stares back at us, unamused... he was SERIOUS! He was actually WAITING fo me to tip him first before he got our popsicles! So Mel and i give each other a wtf look, and i hesitantly pull out another dollar to give to this greedy icecream man. Finally, he gives us our popsicles and drives off. Lol.

So, with popsicles in hand, we start to venture back to where we started from. And we made it back to the car in time just before it rained!! Thanks for the evening Mel, that was a blast! I look forward to many more rollerblading adventures... (if we have any summer left =/ )
