Monday

Monday is here again with more spring/summer weather over the weekend and now we're back to 66* temps.

With the warmer weather, I asked Josh is he'd like to start riding his skateboard again and that answer is, "Yes!"

The sidewalk at the park by the school is nice and wide with grass on either side. Josh is pretty good at stopping if people/children are walking by to let them pass.

crouching on skateboard
Josh likes to try new things. The latest is crouching down to touch the board.
I wanted to get to the beach for sunset on Sunday but was a bit late. Still a pretty view of PV.

Sk8rboy

Recently my youngest son wanted to try skateboarding (again). No problem. I found an assortment of safety pads/helmet and both kids skateboard (in case one was preferred). J was open to trying again and again. Several kids offered advice and demonstrations. A classmate of Josh's gave the most (best) advice because Josh actually listened to K and tried it.

About a week has gone by and Josh has shown some significant improvement. :) He now prefers using Tyler's skateboard so we'll see if he continues, he can get his own for Christmas/bday. :) I have pictures (of course) and for some odd reason, Josh chose to wear his fleece vest that morning. Just because it was overcast. Oh well, it is a nice bright color. Never mind it was like 90*.
