Downhill track

Kieran's little buddy William and Uncle Raoul came by to see if we wanted to ride our bikes this morning.
And I thought it'd be just on the street. But they had other ideas for riding around. I was wondering why he had a rake.

So we caught up to them to see what they were up to.






And this was our Criscoe St Joyride/downhill track.
I went to get our rake so I could help out with cleaning up some of the glass and sharp objects so it could be safer for the boys.
Then I discovered, we don't have a rake, and borrowed the old ladies next door.

It was pretty fun, and we started to add our own bumps to the bumps that were already there.





Beats the streets and the 2000lbs of rusted metal being driven around by folks yakking on cellphones, about the last episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey.

This is real, it's fun, and can be a real positive.
We're thinking of cleaning up this forgotten area and giving it back to the kids in our area.
