Last summer my husband, son, several friends and I ran in a 5K race at the Village Chapel United Methodist Church in Ashville, OH. It was called the Freedom Run. One of the things that the entry fees helped to support was a mission of the church called The Way.
The Way helps to keep teens and pre-teens busy and off the streets. They have Bible study and other activities. One of the big ones is an indoor skateboard park. As far as I know it is the only indoor skate park in this part of Ohio. At the time I just filed this away. Fast forward five months to an almost six year old Monkey who wants to learn to skateboard.
Last Wednesday night my son and I drove down to Ashville to check out The Way Skate Park. It is in a 4,000 sq ft warehouse on Main St in Ashville. It has a half pipe and several ramps (excuse my ignorance as I am just now learning about skateboarding). That night there were about nine kids there (mostly middle schoolers) on bikes and skateboards. Almost all of the children were very polite and willing to help out my little novice. I think it was a good experience overall. Monkey had a great time and has been begging to go back.

Wow! It has been so long!
I have been busy with other life consuming activities lately. I am so sorry for not posting anything sooner. I will be more diligent in the future.
