Kate received an awful lot of attention this weekend. She was prepping for her first “sleep away” camp. At eight years old this was a big emotional moment for the Kokomo Kid. Kate was great with it all, and I had to go back into the cabin to get her to come out and give her mom a hug.

All this attention on Kate left Jack a little despondent. So I decided to take him shopping and get him a skateboard. Never seen a kid so proud leaving a store. This morning he woke up at 7:30, got dressed, and sneaked out to learn how to Ollie.

He researched how to board using Google. His first use of the web beyond playing games. He also called me goofy, which I am, when I tried to show him how to do it.
