skating!

Rain or shine, snow or hail, we will skate! a little creativity go's a long way! building ramps in detroit you have to emporvise a little, using some old doors, duct tape, a little plywood, a few screws and the little blue, truck to create the sweetest quarter pipe!! after baling really hard a couple of times i realized it needs a little improvment. Its a work in progress. I'll be getting more photos as we continue to skate.

and sure enough i had to eat concrete!!

The New Look!

This is what living in a small house when its below thirty most of the time can do to you!! :)

Elizabeth Park

This a beautiful park we visited over the weekend. It boarders the Detroit river. It was really fun getting to stroll across the bridges and along the river walk way. It was really funny taking pictures on the bridge, because its the only entrance to the park and road makes a circle and comes out across the bridge. So as everyone drove by we got some really good looks and couple people even yelled some stuff at us, I guess nobody ever takes pictures around there. The lady on the bike was awesome, here i am cruising down the road back to the car and i see this old lady drive up on Harley with a little dog strapped on to the back of her bike. It was a first. This park was a definite improvement from Belle Isle. We didn't get any pictures, but we threw our three dollar football from target for probably an hour and most exciting part is it started raining on us!

If you wanna see what were doing on the house in Detroit, just check out Operation D-Town. Its a blog about the house!! Pretty exciting

Night on Main St

Our first visit to Main St in Royal Oaks, a nice town around two miles away from our house. I kind of discovered this place in a round about way; i was searching for Qdoba on my VZ Navigator on my phone and it so happened there was one on Main St. After picking up our delicious burritos for dinner, i told Barak about it and we decided we would have to go there. I think it was a Saturday night, we got all spiffed up and headed out. But there was one slight problem, parking was at a minimum, so we drove around for two hours looking for a free place to park (all the parking is metered there). We eventually found one. We strolled around for a while and found a nice little sushi bar, but the wait was crazy. So to save money and not sit around for an hour, we decided to enjoy a few tacos at Qdoba's and then head back to the sushi bar. And wow was that sushi good!

some weird statue Barak took pictures of.

Belle Island

So, this was one of our exursions. we do leave the house some times. Its a place called Belle Island, were not sure its the safest place to go, due to all the gangster looking cars and this schetchy feeling we get the two times we've been their. But its still really cool, because its one of the first places we've found that you can walk down to the waters edge and watch the sunset over the water.

This is looking out from belle island. We have Detroit on the right and Canada on the left

if you look closely, you can see me in the phone.

chilling by the water!

Dress up

If your wondering why we look like cross dressers. One of Barak's friends from Kentucky was having a birthday, but had gotten in a terrible car accident. So her kind sisters threw her a party and had everyone dress up for fun. Being who we are, we took it to the next level and spent roughly an hour or two in the goodwill coming up with the ultimate costume! as you can see, it was definitely the best. The funniest part of the story--i had never met any of his friends. So for the first time meeting His friends i looked like a goofball. Oh and everybody thought my hair was fake. That is my real hair!
