One morning we rode our bikes up to the pond and we actually saw a duck there...this would be the same pond HERE. The kids packed some stuff to do once we got there but AFTER a race around the pond. I love that Carter is already sitting because he starts off with such energy such gumption and then about 20 seconds into the race he tanks, holds his hands up and starts whining "up mommy, upppp!" So at this point you would have seen Kennedy more than half way around the pond turning back around looking at us like, really?? Brooklyn doing some sort of run, leap, skip, twist routine and me trying desperately to look like I can run with a BIG toddler boy on my hip. No such luck.
We did eventually settle down for some sketching (K's idea and of course Carter copied along). And Brooklyn was determined to have mommy finish one of the chapters of this cute little Beverly Cleary book we found at the library. It is perfect for her. She thinks she is reading a chapter book like big sis but the stories are short and simple and she loved it. All was well until we realized we grabbed the gatorade but missed the snack...at that point Carter wasn't the only one that was whining!
Just one of our little summer adventures...ending perfectly with mommy trying to ride her bike home pulling the trailer with the two younger ones and realizing my tire was not just in need of a little air but pretty much F-L-A-T. Brilliant just brilliant. And at that point I pretty much sat on the ground and started whining. Not really but I did think about it!
