November Skate Days

November was a momentous month in skateboarding for the Walla crew. All of a sudden many of Eden's little girlfriends began showing a big interest in the sport - which was such a breakthrough for Eden! Meanwhile Zion began showing more interest as well which was also super fun to watch and be a part of.

Zion's Thanksgiving Feast

Pics from the Thanksgiving feast at Zion's preschool. The last pic is one of he and his little friend Halle. Apparently her mom overheard her introduce him to some other kids in line as her boyfriend on this day. (:

Ice Skating

These are pics from the kids' first time ice skating. It was a warm November day at an outdoor ice skating rink to celebrate a dear friend's birthday. There were walkers for the ice so the kids could stabilize and get used to being on the ice - it was really very perfect. The kids had so much fun that for weeks and months they begged me to take them ice skating again - Eden especially. Then I did take them ice skating again. This time to an indoor rink. For some reason I thought that would be even better. But it wasn't. It was so freezing cold - we were way under-dressed. There were no walkers, by the time we left we were all so bruised and battered that none of us ever wanted to see the inside of an ice skating rink again. I think the experience would have been much better had it just been Eden and I. It was altogether too much for me to take on with Zi in tow as well. I feel bad - like I gipped her pretty badly. One day I owe her a skate date just she and I. 

Olivia - the birthday girl!

Joshua Tree with Friends

Pics from our trip to Joshua Tree with dear friends. The kids had so much fun being here with their friends and so did we. It was so fun to share this place that we love so much with people that we equally love.
