Skater Boys

Today was gorgeous so I took the boys to the skate park. I checked Boston out of school early (he LOVES that) and then we got my boys and it was off to the park to practice their moves. The park was packed and the boys worked mostly on their ramp moves. They had a blast !
This was our first skateboarding injury that has landed one of them in the ER. Chase was doing a double ramp and made it down the first one and then lost his balance before the second and went down hard on his ankle. I took him in for xrays just to be sure it wasn't broken (I really thought it was) but it turns out it was just a sprain.

Wow! I am so glad it's not broken! :) (A sprain is bad enough to drive active boys and their mommy crazy!)

Just saw that HUGE half pipe in your neighborhood, over next to Blanchards... holy moley! One could get some SERIOUS air! :)

Poor guy. Russ said be careful because sometimes sprains can be even worse than brakes. Hope he is hobbling around okay this weekend. Kisses from Auntie! Brennen LOVED the pic of them skating. I may not be able to wait until his birthday to get him his new skateboard!
