Skate Park Play Date

After months of bugging me, I finally agreed to set aside a day for the boys to go to the skate park across from church. So off to buy helmets and send out the evites to all the mommies I know. I didn't want to be alone at the park if something went drastically wrong and I'd have to do a hospital run. Moral support was a must! My nephew, Alex, happened to call the other day to see if the boys were available to play. They weren't that day but told him I'd be happy to have him spend the night and go to the skate park with us today. I'm sure Michelle and John will love me for this now that he has had a taste of new fun and adventure.
At 10 o'clock we took over the skate park and the teens that were there decided it was a good time for them to run home and get something to eat. Thankfully they did...the little ones were dangerous moving obstacles in the skate pit. We had roller blades, scooters, skateboards and kids just climbing around. It was close to chaos! Max actually was able to stay on his scooter in this shot. I thought he was going to fall off.

I never really knew how deep a skate pit was until I saw it today. As you can see...it looks pretty much impossible to get out of without a lot of speed and talent. I have now opened up a whole new world to the boys. They want to go back soon...like NOW! Wonderful. I told them they have to wait until their MediCal cards come in so I don't have to hassle proving insurance.
