Son & Mom Roller Derby



Last night Ciege took his Mom to "May Day Massacre". Its the Treasure Valley Rollergirls championship bout and by the sounds of it, they had a great time. Ciege is hooked. He loved the fights that the girls had and their crazy Roller Derby names. For some who might not be familiar with Roller Derby, here is an explanation (thank you Wikipedia):

Roller derby is an American-invented contact sport—and
historically, a form of sports
entertainment
—based on formation roller skating around an
oval track. In past decades, roller derby has been primarily a professional or paid
sport for both women and men. Roller derby currently consists primarily of a
predominantly female, amateur or unpaid circuit
with a strong do it yourself ethic.

Ciege has been discussing the event this morning with coworkers and you can tell that he just had a really great time last night. He asked his Mom to go because she liked Roller Derby when she was a kid. He had a great time visiting with his Mom and they were out until 1am chatting after the event.

What a beautiful comment you left on the LPM post. I'm glad that God gave you the gift of that time. It blessed me (with some tears, too).

With love in Him,
