Totally awesome dude!

Today the boys and I went out with my pal, Sandra and her little guy, Zackary up to a big city park that we have here. It's actually the same place where I ran my 10K, BTW. Anyway. The boys had fun playing in the sand and running around the equipment, but the REAL fun came later. We went for a little adventure walk up these big hills and over the reservoir. The boys loved watching the water crash down the waterfall and had a hoot throwing things into the water and seeing who's twig or pinecone would win. Sandra brought her camera and took tons of pics, so when she loads them up, I will put them on here.
The best part was when we were walking back to the main park pavillion because they have a skate/bike park. The teens hang out there and do a bunch of tricks. Mind you, this was during the school day, so there weren't very many kids there. The area was all concrete with dips and ramps and graffiti everywhere. Mason said, "Mom, this is AWESOME!" They had so much fun running in all the dips and ramps. They used teamwork to help each other up some steep hills when they couldn't do it for themselves. I asked these 2 boys to do some tricks for our boys and they obliged me with some wheelies, turns, flips, and cool tricks. Mason and Max thought it was just about the coolest thing they had ever seen. All for free!@ I love cheap entertainment and it's a total bonus when the kids think I'm the bomb for thinking of it. We applauded our performers when their tricks were done and then headed home for our evening filled with soccer.
Mason went yesterday with his daddy to get a haircut....and let's just say....he is ready to join the marines. I didn't even recognize my baby. He looks sooooo grown up. Michael told Max to say good bye to his curls because he was taking him to chop them off sometime this weekend. I love those curls. Mason scored a goal last night at soccer and thought he was hot stuff.
Tonight we are going to a "new" friend's house. Denis and Jen have two boys the almost exact same age as our boys who all happen to be on the exact same soccer teams. Therefore, we have been "forced" to be friends! We've already had one of the most successful playdates in the history of the world and now the parents and children have a our very own playdate tonight at their house! It will be great having new couple friends with kids the same age. I'll try and take pics tonight to put them up later! Oh, my pal, Jen is a HUGE scrapbooker....so I believe I will still get to "make my memories"! Yippee!
