The Everything-a-Kid-Could-Want-in-a-Park Park
Being a kid in Florida is super awesome. Yes, I said super awesome. It's January and these kids are doing everything most kids can't do. They're playing roller hockey outside and getting stuck inside half-pipes wearing shorts and t-shirts. Can't say I've ever seen anything like it. Then again, they can't take joy rides down the side of a snow covered mountain either, so I suppose it all comes to preference. I'm still (sort of) undecided, but if I could move the state of Florida to Washington, I'd do it in a second. Best of both worlds? You bet. Unfortunately, that's just not an option. So for now, I'll stick with watching the cute little boy getting stuck in the half pipe, calling on his big brother and mommy to help him out. Seriously adorable. His slight hesitation before taking on the giant drop was nerve-racking, but he took it like a champ! Thoughts about dressing up little skater boys weren't far from my mind, but when I considered the broken bones that would find their way in and out of our home, I dropped the dreams. No skater boys for us. Baseball. They'll like baseball. And if not, we'll force them to. (It was a joke!)
In the same plaza, we embarrassed ourselves in a friendly game of tennis. If you could call it that! We're just pathetic. It's bad. But we enjoy it, so we'll keep practicing. However, I don't know if Adam could ever remove himself completely from his baseball mentality to focus completely on sharpening his tennis skills. Today, while practicing his "baseball" serve as I picked up the runaway balls, he nailed me right in the rib!
And the Overheard quote of the day:
"I've got a good poker face, but I have a big poop in my pants."
