At the Skatepark



Enjoy these pictures of Noah doing what he loves best: Practicing his tricks and skills at the skate park.




He really is into this. As you can tell. We just happened to go to a park one day in late summer and found that it had a skate park. It was quite crowded but the boys had a blast watching everyone else cruise around. We did not have their bikes with us. So we went back the next morning fully equipped. We have been to one skate park or another at least once a week since then. And Noah keeps getting better...



We are so fortunate. The bike is a hand-me-down from dear friends in Flagstaff. The knee and elbow pads a birthday presents. Then my aunt, Jeanette, sent us some money for the boys and we were able to buy a scooter. We had a scooter a couple of years ago but it got stolen. Noah is thrilled to have another one. Life is even better now.




Max definitely enjoys the skate park as well. He cruises around on his balance bike for a while. Then we roll pennies or cars or balls down the ramps. He loves it. We make sure we go in the morning when all the big kids are at school. That way we (usually) have the whole place to ourselves.



Those ramps are actually steeper than they look. Sometimes I can't even watch... I just look away and wait for a crashing sound... I am sure glad I have boys though. I think I can handle the skate park better than princess movies. You should give it a try!

Please tell me that isn't recently where the boys are in shorts and short sleeves! We're freezing up here. Ok, not really - but it's definitely not shorts weather! Noah is pretty amazing and we love the pictures and movie. When are you coming up this way for Christmas? We are excited to see you all!
