Derby Girl

Yes, folks. Its that time of year again. Time for us to visit the roller derby. Now, I have to tell you that my Dad gave me a slightly disapproving look when I told him I was taking his only granddaughter to the Roller Derby. You know, with all of the riff-raff that we might run into there! Well, there was riff raff, sure, but there was also a LOT of fun to be had. Now, this is not Kate's first time at the Derby. You can see that here. She seemed to enjoy it, she did not fall asleep, and she didn't even mind all of the yelling (you never know nowadays what is going to make her cry).

Here she is looking roller derby cute.


Check out those rad shoes!


And you know that she had to have a roller derby name on her "bout"fit, right?

That is our friend Monica up above. We didn't just seek out the roller derby. We're actually "in" with a roller derby girl!

Kate busted her lip on a derby girl's elbow my knee only about 30 minutes in (you can see that its purple if you look closely).


One of my favorite parts is checking out the uniforms. Love this one! But dang, guess I'll have to be "Hanta Your Dreams" or "Ebola U Over"


And then there was Rainbow Bright. Wow. This photo does NOT do her justice.


You know, she really liked the roller skates and the music and didn't mind the screaming too much. But of course, she got a little bored. So, what better thing to do than play with Dora and Boots?


And at the end of a long afternoon? Well, she was pretty much pooped. See her here? She didn't wake up until 7:30... am.. the next morning! Now I'm wishing there was a roller derby every weekend!
