Obsession

Sooo, Jake's latest obsession is the skateboard park. I have often taken him to some of the bigger skate parks to just watch the skateboarders.....he's always been thoroughly entertained watching them from BEHIND the fence. Well, this time we went to one that was a little less intimidating (and had no fence)......once he saw some kids riding scooters out there, that's all she wrote. He was out there with them, "scootering", and doing a great job staying out of their way :)

It's nearly impossible to keep Mia off of the skating area, so I have to come prepared with lots of snacks! Once she's through with her food, it just becomes a game of her running to the skateboard area, me picking her up, and her screaming at the top of her lungs. If there aren't any teenagers, I've let her go out there and she just runs around in circles.....smiling the whole time!

Here he goes, down the "big ramp". It doesn't look that steep in this picture, but let me tell ya', it seems steep when my little man is going down it.....with the wheels shimmying on his scooter!!

Here is Mia, smiling up at the squirrel she was trying to make friends with.....
who of course ran safely up a tree to escape her :)

The face......you may have to click on the picture to see it, but this is Jake's intense look when he comes down the ramp....tongue out, eyebrows furrowed. Love him.
