Some of you might have known that Zach has been without wheels lately. Bike, skateboard, scooter...all gone. Stolen. Well, yesterday he got a surprise package in the mail, from a very kind soul who thought of him, miles away when she spotted some boards in a So Cal Vans shop...the same day that we took Zach to the Vans outlet near us for new shoes. He was in desperate need yet I had put it off due to the fact that I loathe having to shoe shop with him. We've never shared a mutual agreement on shoe styles. I'm always left biting my tongue, wincing at his color/style choice, trying to let him be his own person, letting him choose. So when we scanned the clearance aisle in the Vans outlet he pulled these out and we both magically agreed. A miracle. Perhaps we should all spend some more time in a Vans shop?
Anyway, back to his new board...he was truly surprised at the kindness of someone he has never met. Very cool indeed. He was all smiles.
So now instead of having to resort to cruisin' on the ol' three wheeler--geez in socks! No wonder I'm constantly buying them...
He can now work his coolness on his new board. His Dad can work some skills too. And perhaps now he'll stop taking off on the tricycle, or M's purple Hannah Montana bike. (Or maybe not.)
(Thanks HC. You rock.)

I love your photos. So inspiring. I love the first shoe shot. Very cool! Took your advice. I am loving these depth of field shots. Fun stuff! :)
He got the board! I'm so happy for him... love that first shot and I loved his enthusiasm over his new shoes. :-)
Growing up in the 70s with a brother, Vans & skateboards were a big part of our lives. Glad to see they are still providing as much fun and recreation today! Haven't been here in a couple weeks, nice to visit again!
There's a little bit of magic that comes with a pair of new Vans.
