Tonight our family did something totally out of the ordinary for us.
We went to the roller derby.
Turns out that our town has a pretty impressive roller derby team.
They are called the Dixie Derby Girls.
They have great derby aliases like "Lola Pirhana", "Mshell-o-Bombher",
Disgrace Kelly", and "Bama Bruiser".
There were several hundred people who turned out for a special night tonight.
It was the "Skate Wars: The Fempire Strikes Back" night where
a perccentage of the profits went to charity.
Two of the women on the team are moms from my kids' past school.
Just ordinary career women who skate for the derby for sport and exercise.
And to occassionally to support a good cause.
This is a pretty easy game to figure out so it is fun to watch and keep up with the scoring.
And let me tell you - these girls need every bit of protective gear that they wear.
This is action packed and fast-moving.
If you want something completely different from the usual movie and dinner out
you should consider giving it a try.
*Sorry these pics are so grainy and blurry - they were taken with my iphone zoomed all the way out.
