Skateboarding

Skateboarding is a family affair. Well at least for 3 of us at a time. We just need to get one more.

A while back my cousin Josh and his girlfriend Krystin watched the boys for me so I could go get a few things down. On that day, my cousin introduced them to skateboards. They really did not do anything special with them but sit on them and have races down the driveway. That however was enough to make them desire one of their own.

So on Christmas, Santa brought them their wish. They got their very first skateboard. Talk about stoked. Since Christmas morning, they have had the opportunity to "ride" them 3 times. Today being one of them. I use the word ride loosely because all they want to do is kick.

This mom can still ride. I don't do tricks but I can ride the board. Thankfully it is a long board. I can control that much better. It is like surfing, the longer the board the slower it goes. So I am counting on my cousin, who introduced them to this "sport", to teach them tricks and such.
