Last night Shaun White won Gold in the halfpipe!!! If you don't know who Shaun White is, he is an amazing snowboarder and skateboarder! He is also know as the Flying Tomato for his red hair. This guy is such a great role model for kids. He's a good guy and great athlete!
Ethan loves watching him. This morning he woke up and was talking nonstop about him winning the gold and the crazy tricks he did. He even wanted to wear one of his Shaun White t-shirts (they sell his clothing line for boys at Target) to school.
So thank you Shaun White for giving my son the dream to fly as high as the Flying Tomato!!!
The hubs and I watched that last night! We love "the flying tomato" Shaun White....he is an awesome snow boarder and great role model for kids....I'm glad your son Ethan looks up to him and he probably will fly as high as Shaun someday and win ya a big gold medal Whoooo Hoooo....

I agree. So nice to see such a good person do so well. And also recognize the power and influence they have over youth. Go Shaun!
ReplyDeletethat is so great that he is such a role model. I did not know that you could get his clothing line at Target. Thanks for sharing that.
ReplyDeleteWe moved from Denver recently and so, of course, have tons of snowboarding experience being that close to the Rockies. He's huge there.....as he should be. A great guy!
