The kids made friends with the neighbors down the street. Today, their dad brought out a little ramp that he had built.
Headquarters
The kids have been using the garage as their headquarters lately. Every morning, Mama moves the minivan out so they have a place to hang out in between scooter/bike/skateboard rides.
Bike Ride
We went on another family bike ride today! Peanut is getting pretty good lately. He’s confident enough to stand on the pedals now.
Riding His Bike
Practice Ride
Now that Peanut has learned how to ride a bike, we took a practice ride to his new school. Each year, Mama and Dada have walked to ridden bikes with Janie to school on the first day and we hope to do the same with Peanut too!
We made it to school in one piece and Peanut was excited to be going to the same school as his big sister.
We then kept going – past Harbor Bay Club and along the water.
He did a great job but got tired trying to keep up with Dada and Janie.
We took a little break and the stuffies got to enjoy the view of the city too.
When it was time to head home, the stuffies went back into Peanut bike bucket.
We all got home safely and we rode over 4 miles today.
As a special treat, we hopped in the van and went to Jamba Juice. We ordered ahead and Mama went out to pick up the smoothies. Meanwhile, the kids stayed in the van with Dada and ended up in the back row!
“I’m bored”
This guy said “I’m BORED” so I sent him outside with chalk and had him do this.
I also took him out for a bike ride. Poor guy.
Reset
Mama came home from work to a grouchy, frustrated family this evening. So we went out for a ride outside after dinner.
It’s amazing how a little open water and exercise can restore their mood.
Skateboard Break
Garage
Lately we have been using our garage more. We move one car out to guest parking then the kids set up camp with all their “vehicles” (i.e. scooters, bikes, and skateboards) along with camping chairs, a table, and snacks. Today, Mama took over the table to do some work on her computer.
Side by Side
I still can’t get over the fact that both kids can ride bikes side by side now. They are ready to ride to school this fall for the first day of school! Let’s hope school will actually open in August.
