My Skateboard Nut…

Tyler has found his “sport”.  He loves his skateboard.  We are lucky enough that this tiny installation has a skate park…AND it’s behind our house.  (in our anniversary picture of Pat and I you can see the yellow high school behind us and above that building is the skate park!). 
Friday there was a “big” competition for the area skaters…I believe skaters came from several installations to compete.  Tyler didn’t compete because he was “chicken”.  LOL.  (his words)  But he DID go up with Pat and Garret to watch the competition.  While he was there, he got to skate a little bit.  Pat had my Nikon D70 with him so he took some pictures.

This picture is of Tyler and his friend David skating together.  David competed…nope he didn’t place, but his older brother used to compete at the semi professional levels and encouraged him to try.

Great Pictures ~My boys love the skate park we have one outside here in Miami ~There is something about skating that boys seem to grasp it is physical and technical and mechanic and all that great guy stuff crammed in there. Plus as an xtra bonus sometime you get Pirate scars LOL!!
