cleaning up the skatepark {{pic heavy}}

My hubby and son have been involved in the skate community for years. Together with some friends, they managed to get a skatepark built. Some neighborhood kids came into the park before it opened, and tagged it. Hubby and son organized a cleanup, and the pay was getting to skate before it stared. Its a great sport

for the young

but with a little help from our friends, the job was done.

unfortunatly, by this weekend, they had come back and tagged the pool again but we'll just clean it again. It's worth it.

you might know my son if so. he's 36 now but been skating for over 20 years, and pools are his passion

this is him and his daughter.

PS - where are your helmets?
