We have hit the age of skate parks. But on a scooter, not a skateboard. Yet? Maybe?? We have two skateboards in the basement and I'm not sure they'll be used, but the scooter gets picked daily.
Apparently this year, it's supposed to be a 90's summer. Let me tell you about 90's summer.
Parents were not invited. And we spent the day either watching talk shows, soap operas, and cartoons OR our parents sent us outside to not come back until dinner. I would call my mom to see if I could go to Valley Fair or somewhere else with friends (usually yes because... parents didn't want their kids at home) and she would be like "PLEASE GO"
And we would ride bikes to the gas station for snacks. We didn't live close to the rec pool so we did need rides for that or Bush Lake.
I'm not sure 90's kids can really give up the individual freedom to their kids that we had, because we literally had zero supervision. Like, none.
This summer for us, will be a summer filled with lessons about how to do things for ourselves, how to pay with Apple cash for snacks and ice cream, how to navigate our area of the city without Apple Maps, how to cook food, the rec center pool, and to read so much.
Summer starts Wednesday and we are so excited!!!
