Skateboard Park




My older kids are very into skateboarding. They have asked me all week if I would take them to the skate park. Our city has a 1.2 million dollar facility designed for this exclusively. I wasn't to keen on taking them My thought was, "I'm going to take them just to make a trip to the emergency room." (Do you knooooooooow Brandon?)
Since Elena and Brandon are both broke, they agreed they would do a few chores. Clean their bathroom, which includes the tub, toilet, mirror and sink. Plus, mop the kitchen, dinning room and laundry room. That's worth $10. bucks each, right?
Finally, they got their wish! Let me tell you, I was nervous. Elena was one of four girls out there, and there were a ton of fearless boys. I didn't want to watch. Each time, someone would fall I would cringe. I'm not into pain. Amazingly, they walked away without a scratch. Thank God!

Lucky you...no trip to the ER. Last summer Kolton broke his leg within 15 min of being at the skatepark for the first time!!!

If my dare devil son, Ricky, was there, there is no telling what would have happened.
