Old School

I have a husband that grew up in Southern California.

He was always on his bike and at the skate park. 

One of the things I adore about him is that he is so young at heart. 

 He still loves to go to the skatepark and he now takes our children.

I tagged along last weekend and my husband is never the only dad there riding.

What I love the most is this is something special that he does with the children.

A skatepark morning always starts with donuts and orange juice from the gas station.  The kids love this because I would never buy that. 

It is their tradition with dad.

    What a cool Dad and Hubby. It’s always so nice to see Dads that are involved with their kids in such a positive and fun way. You have a beautiful family Miss Jeanne!

    Your husband has such a friendly smile~you can tell he’s a nice guy just by looking at him ๐Ÿ™‚
    How nice that he has this special thing to do with the kids. My husband bikes with the girls but it’s all ‘road cycling’….I think it’s scary either way….and he gets them donuts at Casey’s too!!
    That little Benjamin is such a cutie…I bet he keeps you plenty busy.
    Have a great day today.

    So cute, does your husband always smile so big? It is infectious! My son tries to be just like my husband too, he is quite the kid at heart as well, living in Southern California! ๐Ÿ™‚ Great memories for them as well….happy hump day!

    I’m the lucky one! I have three great kids who love to do what I do. I also have the hottest wife at the skatepark! While there may be a few other Dads out there you rarely see the Moms. We loved that you came too Jeanne! I love you!!

    Aren’t dad-traditions great?! My husband wrestles with the kids on the bed, and the last one still on wins. I would never do this, so it’s extra special daddy-time!
    The pictures are adorable …urr…I guess your husband and sons would prefer “studly.” ๐Ÿ™‚
    Love the one of your little guy practicing his moves!!!

    I love father traditions. I remember those the most about my childhood. It means so much.

    My husband is an avid mountain bike rider, and used to race, and even our little 5 year old is well on her way….
    gotta love that “real man” eh?
