Wow, so our grandpa was named after him?!

On the way to school Friday, Walter was asking me about my childhood. He asked if Jer and I lived together as kids. I reminded him who we both grew up with and then he was asking me about my grandpa's. He is lucky enough to remember my Grandpa Armstrong and knew him right away when I mentioned him. I then told him about my Grandpa Harala, who he never got to meet. Right away he said "Wow, so our grandpa was named after him?!" (They call my dad Grandpa Harala, just like I called mine.) Pretty sweet.

Owen has been patiently waiting for a trip to the skate park with his pal, Cassius. They talk with one another about their trick scooters and riding at the skate park all the time. Two weeks ago we planned on going bright and early on a Saturday morning, only to get rained out. Last weekend, he was out of town, so when we woke up to a beautiful sunny day yesterday, we knew what we were doing. We loaded up the car with scooters, skate boards, pads, helmets and my camera to capture the momentous event. When we got down there and settled in, I immediately pulled out my camera and realized my battery was dead. Luckily, I had my phone and took a few videos instead...now let's see if I can share them with you successfully. (We were due for a video anyway, right?!)

Scooter dude O is here.
