On Tuesday of this week (Tomb Sweeping Day) we journeyed to SMP Skate Park to join Regan and his friend's family for a picnic while the boys rode their skateboards. The weather was beautiful with clear skies (by Shanghai standards) and temps in the mid 60s. This skate park is billed as the world's largest and is where they hold the X-Games for skating and biking. Regan's friend Jarod Baldwin and his brother Parker are regulars at the park. The Baldwins brought a full picnic spread including BBQ grill with all the fixings. We enjoyed hot dogs, grilled chicken, veggie kebabs, pasta salad and of course brownies and cookies. I had to leave for the airport around 1pm as I had to catch a flight to Beijing but Cynthia and the boys stayed until the late afternoon. For the skateboard fans in the blog audience, I have posted a photo album on Picasa so you can view some of the photos from the day.
Today one of our White Bear Lake friends and neighbor has arrived in Shanghai on business and we are going to join him for some sight seeing as well as pick up the care package that he has transported from the US for us!

Looks like this is the challenge of the century. Hope you were well padded before venturing onto this skateboard thrill ride.
Having not-so-pleasant flashbacks to the one summer I defied all of your "stay off my skateboard" warnings and had a nasty face-to-pavement meeting courtesy of a manhole cover on the road! I do believe that was the FIRST and LAST time I decided maybe skateboarding was a good idea. Perhaps it was the big scab I got to sport for weeks?
