Skate Park Kids

Justin wasn't the only one who spent most of his summer at the skate park. My kids went almost every day with their summer camp. They took their own bikes to school and adventured to the skate park in Granby from there. Scott caught some footage of them over the last month or so and I strung it together. Music is by Rusted Root "Send me on my way."

BTW — I used to go off on moms who dressed their kids in helmets and pads: "Nobody ever bubble wrapped us when we were kids," I'd say. Well — as you'll see, my kids all wear helmets and the boys both have all the pads for when they're practicing tricks. Sawyer fell no less than 10 times at the bike park with Scott last weekend, trying to learn a new trick he saw some teenager doing. He never cried. But he was surprise to find that his knees were pretty sore that night when he was going to bed.
