This was in the summer of 1996 and me and Lucas and my parents drove from Montgomery to Montreal &#8211; stopping in a few places along the coast &#8211; to make a trip to Boston for Gabe&#8217;s graduation.  We went to Vermont for a few days and did all kinds of stuff.  I don&#8217;t think either one of us had ever been rollerblading at this point, so we decided to try it out.  For as good at football as Lucas was, rollerblading was far from easy for him.  I have never seen anyone more  awkward and uncoordinated on wheels! It really was hilarious!  I would be going nicely along the path, and out of nowhere Lucas would zoom across the path in front of me, so he was coming from the grass and headed straight for the bushes with his hands straight out in front of him and his body perfectly straight but leaning backwards any second about to tip over. The only thing to stop him was the bushes, he had no concept of stopping himself or slowing down, we would hear big crashes and rustling every once in a while and Lucas would appear from the brush a few minutes later.  His face a combination of having fun being reckless and just pure annoyed that he couldn&#8217;t do any better.  Needless to say, he was done rollerblading for good, I am pretty sure he never put a pair on again.  I would always tease him and say we should go again sometime.<\/p>\n<p>This picture is in Vermont from that trip, Lucas and Gabe and Jordan in the yard. <\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/rosenfeld.to\/lucas\/wp-content\/thumb-Vermont1996.jpg' alt='Vermont 1996' \/> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To this day, I never rollerblade without thinking about the time Lucas and Jordan and I went in Vermont.
