added to my “List”

CheriGENERAL

This activity wasn’t on my original “100 list” that I compiled in January.  You can view it here. 

But I quickly decided it was going to be added — when several of Baby Girl’s friends stopped by back in April with a trunk full of longboards.



Longboards are like skateboards only . . . longer.  And wider.  So to me they looked “do-able”.  As in I, a 50 year old/young mom of three 20-somethings should be able to do –or at least try.

— I have to admit that these boys made going down our driveway look very easy.



— and Baby Girl looked like she was getting the hang of it easily.

–DIY Guy didn’t seem to struggle at all . . .


— so I donned my safety gear and took a ride . . .

Seriously, you didn’t think I was going to go flying down the road like these guys did you?



Note that BJ (in back)is longboarding while recording Ryan (in front – duh) while he longboards from the top of our driveway and nearly a 1/4 mile down the road.  Here’s the video BJ took:

and here’s the boys returning from their “trip”  . . .

and here’s Jaden and Baby Girl . . .

Being the good friends that they are.

I recommend giving longboarding a try if you get the chance, it’s a lot of fun.  If I weren’t so dadgum afraid of hurting myself I might actually enjoy learning and doing more of it!

For now — it’s another item crossed off my 100 List!
