First of all let me explain the Lo-Lo: This is the name that Colin calls Logen!
Now on to the yo-yo: Meridian Parks and Recreation offered a FREE (yes, I said free) yo-yo instruction class that started last fall. The class is taught by Dave, a local yo-yo World Champion! It is an hour long on Thursday evenings.
Who would have thought there were so many different kinds of yo-yos!?! I was thinking buy him a "Duncan" yo-yo and all would be good; not true he now has a regular duncan yo-yo, a diablo yo-yo, a spin top yo-yo and an off-string yo-yo. He has learned to use all the yo-yos and several tricks: walk the dog, rock the baby, brain twister and the sky-rocket.
Logen was also invited by his instructor to join him at a demonstration at a local store a few weeks ago (he earned a $50 gift card for doing it) and then last weekend he did a demonstration at the Discovery Center (a kid's museum) in Boise.
Logen has really enjoyed learning the yo-yo and teaching other people at these demonstrations. A few weeks ago we were at the Olive Garden and Logen had a yo-yo with him. Next thing we know he is entertaining a table of women waiting for their dinner.
This picture is of Logen using his "spin top yo-yo"!
