A quick visit to camp on Day 2, the first full day of skate, provided opportunities to photograph skaters...... resting. Everywhere we looked, skaters were sitting in the middle of the day. Too tired to skate any longer. They were sacked out everywhere. It was very amusing. Guess they hit the ramps hard and fast early and wore themselves out. ;-)
I realized something about myself at camp on Day 2. I will tell you but don't be shocked.
I think I love graffiti.....
There was an empty lot across from the hotel and a groundhog lived there. Kent and I tried on several occasions to get a photograph of him. We would see him way out in the field and we would stop, quickly grab the camera but before I could get it focused - he was G.O.N.E. He was an elusive little sucker. He was so elusive, we nicknamed him Flash. Finally, we got him!
This is another groundhog we saw at the Center Mansion Furnace:
He was not as quick as Flash.
At the World War I Memorial and Farmer's Market (I don't know what those two things have to do with each other either) we saw something on a rock in the creek. It was too far away to tell but this is what I saw looking through the zoom lens:
Tuesday was shaping up to be Wildlife Day.
Misc. photos from camp...
Tanner falling from HIGH up!
My heart still skips watching him slide to the bottom.
I didn't know that watching someone faux snowboard could be so much fun......
If you are a skater or a parent of a skater, you will see the humor in the orange traffic cones. Even at skate camp it's the only way to keep the skaters from board sliding/grinding the ledge in this photo. Too funny! So far, this is the only thing we found that the kids were not allowed to skate. Everything there is designed for them to use as a jump, ledge, etc. There's even a skate park that is designed like a city plaza (like the plazas in downtown areas they are usually kicked out of for skating). We are guessing the only reason they couldn't skate this ledge is it ends in a hill right in front of the smoothie bar entrance. That would be bad to walk out of the smoothie bar with a fresh strawberry\Red Bull smoothie and get knocked down and spill your Red Bull.....umm, I mean smoothie all over you and a skater, right?
More to come.....
