Because the boys loved their fake fishing so much, I picked up some new real poles for them. We bought some before but left them in Missouri! Oops! We headed to the park near the house to practice casting. They got good at it quickly!

They occasionally had to stop and chase the ducks away.

The next day, Trevor wanted to go and practice again so we went to a slightly bigger pond.

And we found a big playground they had not been to.

We have not been roller skating since the last Hopekids private skating party. The boys are bigger, but skating is still really tough!

Hopekids books the Skateland roller rink in Mesa.

There is no way that I could help the boys while on wheels. I didn’t skate. There was a volunteer photographer taking pictures of everyone, so I didn’t need to bring the camera!

Trevor needs a little encouragement after a few wipeouts

Bill got to do a few laps himself. He brought his own skates. 😀
