Skate Park

We have a skate park in Klamath Falls, but it is way too much skate park for me. I believe that the skate park in Klamath Falls is nationally ranked, the #3 skate park in the nation. It is a concrete masterpiece that absolutely frightens me. So when we are out of town and spot a lesser skate park, the boys are always eager for an opportunity to ride. I am grateful now for everyday that they prefer their scooters to their skate boards.

Here in Mississippi there is a skate park on the Air Force Base. It is small enough for me, and big enough for the boys. The boys spotted the skate park on our first day here, but the military sign posted that warned of a required equipment check, and use by authorized personnel only allowed me to delay our visit. On Friday I had an appointment at the hospital, so Johan took the boys to the skate park and I later met them there.

It didn't take long for the boys to get red faced in the Mississippi heat and humidity. Underneath those helmets are two heads, completely wet with sweat. Notice K's tongue in these pictures. Even as a baby his tongue was out of his mouth just slightly whenever he engaged in any physical activity that required any amount of concentration. C is our dare-devil. He started just going up the ramp ever so slightly, gradually he inched his way up.
