this is a shot of Dean in Lincoln Park on Capitol Hill
we like to mix it up and take advantage of the various parks in the city
it makes for a more interesting set of activities and interactions

other than the woods of Rock Creek and the sidewalk infront of our house
our primary park of choice is Turtle Park in AU Park
we were initially drawn there for the battered and broken big wheels that Dean and the other children would push up a short hard packed dirt hill
and KAMAKAZI down
but those big wheels are gone, yet we still go back
now we bring his bike and he rides on the basketball courts
clearly more fun than riding the drag strip sidewalk out front our house....
up and back
ride down
I carry the bike up the slight grade back
then back down again
rinse and repeat
