This hill was to the side of Ma and Papa’s house in Louisiana, Missouri. Well, actually, I’m quite sure it’s still there, but it doesn’t seem as big as it did to us back in 1990 when the picture above was taken, but anyway…. We spent hours on this hill riding (while sitting) skateboards down and avoiding cars. There was also a hill next to Papa’s service station that served the same purpose, but had a nice grassy area at the bottom to stop us. One of my favorite memories of Papa is of him riding down the hill next to the station on his wheely thing for working under cars, then falling off and Ma getting out the Bandaids to patch his skinned knees.
Here are two more from Christmas ’94 when the Baumann girls got skates:
The 2nd picture is classic of our family..me and you are holding onto somebody probably about to fall over and mallory is in front of us wondering why we can’t do it
HAHAHA!!! Rachel is soo right!
I can’t say that I remember PaPa riding down any hills by the station and getting scraped up.
I am really surprised that none of us (Brooke) never got hit by a car while wheeling down the street.
