SkateRat

Don & I feel like all California boys need to know how to to skateboard and surf.  We\’re starting with skateboarding.
So for his birthday, Mae got Quinn a skateboard and he was pretty psyched about it.  We went to a local indoor skatepark to pick out his new board.

Once we got home Quinn took it for a spin with a little help from dad.

Just gliding down a gentle hill.

And Don showing off his moves.

The next day I took Quinn back to the skatepark for a group lesson.  Here he is ready to go.

Learning how to stand on his board.

And a couple of quick videos of his mad skills.  More lessons coming up 🙂

Pumpkin Carving

Last weekend we went out pumpkin hunting.

And started carving right away.

All the boys in on the action.

I never got a picture of the front of the pumpkin and Quinn put it in the sun to sit.  Well 7 days in 85 degree California sun makes for a rotten, mildewy pumpkin.  Good thing we always get a couple of extra pumpkins.  I know what we will be doing on Saturday.
