Terri's Roller Disco Birthday Party - Part 3 of 3

Welcome to the conculsion of our coverage of Terri's 40th Birthday Party!
o
We all took a little break from skating to enjoy some cake.

Then it was time to get serious.

o
The limbo contest was no contest - Laurie and Terri were declared the Ultimate Roller Disco Limbo Queens of Sacramento. Well, the title is a bit exaggerated, but we did win a free soda at the snack bar!

o
Hmmm, this looks close...

o
But another angle (provided by Chris Strange) shows that I cleared the bar with millimeters to spare.

o
Judging by the explosion on the screen, Phillip is having success in the arcade, too.
o
But in the biggest challenge of the day...

o
Laurie and Terri took on 5 other girls, all nearly 1/3 our age...
o
...and Laurie came in 4th!

o
Laurie's big finish, just a few hundreths of a second shy of the winner. Laurie was truly the Michael Phelps of my birthday party!!

o
A victory pose!

o
Brande and Chase enjoy the arcade.

o
Celebrating... the fact that we haven't broken any bones yet.
o
Meanwhile, Phillip's a winner, too.

o
It was a great party, and we all had a great time at the rink! Except for this unfortunate kid (not part of our group) who crossed paths with Derek.

o

o
At least we can say that (almost) everyone at the rink that day had a great time.

Thanks again, everyone, for the good company and birthday wishes on the big day! I'm thinking a yearly event might be in order, if we recover from this one by then. And that's a big if.
