Skateboarding and Soccer!

I get to run the skate park twice a week!  It is a blast.  The kids don't have professional skate examples, so they are exploring and teaching each other tricks.  They are so polite with each other too!  When they roll along, unable to control their boards, they shout "Con permiso! Con permiso! Con permiso!" This means "Excuse me! Excuse me! Excuse me!"

Karla (Below Left) is one of the two girls who join in the fun.  She's also a steller DJ for us!  All tunes come from her phone!

Jesus (Above Right) is fearless in mastering tricks on the board!  He must be five or so years old.

Juan (Left) is Jesus' older brother.  He carries the same fearlessness as Jesus but has more experience and therefore, more skill. 

A few good men at the art center created a soccer field for my girls soccer class.  It is a blast!  Boys usually dominate the soccer fields (pavement squares) in school and the streets, so I developed a soccer class for girls only.  It is very lax as most of the girls have never played before but we have a blast together.  They started a bit timid but we are rolling now!  They beg for more time after class.  I love it!
