Bikes

We've finally gotten our bikes out of the garage to ride together. Of course, the boys' bikes have been out and used, but this was the first time we actually did a bike ride as a family. Colton loved the trailer on my bike and eagerly climbed in. Spencer was the repairman/tire inflator. He has some skills in repairing and fixing things, which comes in quite handy.

After the bike ride, Colton has since climbed in the trailer, ready for a ride. It will be a while before we do it again, because my bike or the trailer had issues with the tires and it was like I was riding on flat tires, dragging the trailer. It was very difficult, but Eric also had the difficult time with helping Kaylen pedal the whole mile. He ended up riding his bike and pulling Kaylen beside him because her legs were just too tired to loop around the block (she was actually on the bike, not the Dora Hot Wheels).

Welcome Summer (Hike)

The first day of summer break wasn't too hot (or so I thought), so I wanted to do an activity with the kids. We opted to go on a hike in Usery Park. It was really more of a walk around a small mountain. We didn't get an early start as I would have liked, so it was hot. The kids were troopers and walked through the desert with minimal complaints. We did get to see some small animals (and bugs) and the flowering cacti. It was a fun way to start the summer, followed by a dip in the pool.

Backyard Fun - Part 4

Here are some more pictures from another day in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard. Today the project was setting up a new sandbox, which has become a favorite activity at Grandma's house.
