Skateboarding

The boys (and I) also took up skateboarding (the pedagog in me wants to support activities that support their balance). While we are not performing death defying stunts at the skate park yet, Liam and Crispin have also impressed me with their quick progress.

Another nice feature you can't see in this picture is that another boy, Ashton, who is 8 and lives down the street, is on my skateboard practicing in the driveway. It has been nice to have this boy pop up for a few minutes now and then.

Another memory comes to mind. As a youth, I never took up skate boarding with vigor, but I do remember getting together with my sister and her friends on the steep hills of Falconhurst. We would sit in groups of 4 or 6 or 7, all on our skateboards, with our hands linked. Then we would roll down the steep hill on our boards.
