Saturday in the park
Saturday was a perfect Michigan summer day: sunny, bright, warm but not hot. Perfect day to be outside. So we loaded up the van and headed to the Willow Metropark. Adam and Eddie put in a few miles on their road bikes, Aaron headed to the skate park and Arianna and I hung out at the play ground. They have a very cool playground. After the bike ride, Eddie joined Aaron over at the skate park. It took almost all afternoon, but they both managed a 180 turn on the shorter, steeper ramp by the "speed bump." (Instead of just a half pipe, there are two ramps, with a hill in the middle.) Woo hoo! From watching Arianna on the play set, she has a good future in mountain climbing if she chooses.



Glad to see that Eddie is wearing the appropriate protection. I wouldn't try that without a full body armor suit and lifetime medical supply contract. I might as well as ride a Harley in flip flops and a bathing suit!

Looks like a nice park. Back in my day, we just skated down the sidewalks in our hilly neighborhood. Then again, that was just after skateboards were invented and there weren't really any skate parks around yet....
