Yesterday we had my son’s birthday party; he turned 7 years old last Thursday. He opted for a skating party at the local YMCA, where a good time was had by all (It seemed). This image is during the game of “Wipe Out”, where (on cue) everybody tries to fall down as quickly as possible. They compete girls vs boys, and the last team with someone standing loses the round. They do 6-8 rounds to determine a “winner”.

Whew, that sounds like an exhausting game.
Happy birthday to your son.
I like the isolation of your son and the red line in the photo. It tells a story.
a happy b'day to him! neat photo!
I would have kicked everybody's fanny at that game. Falling down on skates is a natural for me. I make it look easy!
