skate park

We took the kids to the skate park to try out their new skateboard. The boys were so excited to each have their own board so they didn't have to take turns. They have been having fun belly riding and Paul really wants them to get comfortable on the board in whatever way possible to start.

Matix was very brave and road the bowls on his belly like this. He was going SO fast and smiling and giggling the whole time. He loved it.

Hawken was more excited about riding the right way, standing up, with Paul. Paul took him all over the place and Hawken ate up every second.  He begged to go again and again with Paul.

Lulli and Matix took turns with Paul too, but mostly Lulli just wanted to sit with me and eat snacks.

Before we left, Matix crashed into a wall... He sprained his ankle really badly. I thought it was broken, thank goodness we have a doctor in the family now and he knew it wasn't. Matix's ankle got swollen up and turned completely black and blue, except for his toes and the bottom of his foot. After a couple days, he was able to walk around, although he milked it like crazy.  Here is his foot after a week. Much better, but still tender.

Matix has already asked to go back to the skate park, and Paul was especially excited that his crash didn't turn him off to skating completely... He was named after a skate brand after all... :)
