Birthdays

A and J turned 8 in July with high -- and answered -- hopes for skateboards.  We headed over to a local skate shop, let the kids loose, walked out with their new boards and pads and quickly realized we had no plan for teaching them without anyone ending up in the hospital.  We immediately proceeded down the stairs to the indoor skate park tucked in the ground level of the building, talked with the manager, and enrolled them in skate camp starting the next day.  Whew -- adult embarrassment and potential injury averted!  I skated back in middle school, but I claim zero muscle memory.

A circus arts birthday party!

Rolling by.


Even with their new skateboards, they still love to do this...


Riding at Fort Flagler back in June with Scout.


Iver turned 3 in September complete with a school bus cake.  His love for yellow school buses remains strong despite their near absence over the summer!


Awesomeness!
