sk8

Max and I where playing on the skateboard in the house and he was having so much fun I thought we would take it with us when we went out for a walk. So after our lunch we went out to have a skate.

He stands on the board fine but doesn't always look where he is going. (we are working on that part)

Once he is on the board I will push him and let him ride by himself. Yes he is moving in this photo, I just didn't to a good job of showing it.



We also ride together. (Carrie took this shot when we went out after dinner. Just in case you were wondering why the lighting is different)



watch Max go!

first hair cut

I finally convinced Carrie to agree to cut Max's mullet. So today we gave Max his very first hair cut. Started out trying to do the job with scissors but the boy wouldn't sit still for that, so out came the clippers.

I think he looks a lot older now, but I guess that goes with him being almost 17 months old.

from tarmac to dirt

Finally got a chance to take my KLR off road, thanks to Karen sharing her dirty little secret with me. (by dirty I mean dirt) Had such a good time playing in the dunes.



If anyone reading this has an adventure-touring bike and wants to go for a ride just let me know :)
