Goodbye Skate Ramp

We had a great Labor Day weekend. We started out on Saturday at G-ma & G-pa's house. Joey, Sam & Brent tore down the old skate ramp that has been in the backyard for 10 years. Joey got the ramp from a friend in June '97. Joey and a few friends re-furbished it for all to enjoy. After a few years of non-use it was time to retire it. Here are a some before & after shots:

The first shot is when they were re-furbishing the ramp in June '97, the second is when it was finished and the ramp was ready to skate, the third is what the ramp looked like in August '07 right before they tore it down and the fourth is Joey and his dad tearing apart the last piece.
Meanwhile, I watched the kids play and try to stay cool in the kiddie pool.
