Canoeing and Biking

Last week I decided to take the kids out on the canoe to Riverfront Park.  I don't know how I did it but I was able to get that 17 foot canoe on top of the car and get the kids ready in half an hour.  We had some major balance issues so I had to put Sydney and Tara next to each other with Evie way in the back.  I was super nervous about that but I was more worried about tipping and having to rescue three kids.  They had fun but it will be a while before we are ready to hit a river.

It was so hot out on the lake that we went out an got ice cream at McDonalds afterwards.  The ice cream was so melted by the time we got home that I wouldn't let them in the house.  We turned on the sprinkler and let them run around for awhile before cleaning up to go inside.

This evening Sarah wanted to go for a run so I suggested that she run to Two Moon Park and that we'd meet her out there with all of our bikes.  The kids had a blast mountain biking the trails.  Evie got bounced around a bit in the trailer and was done after one loop so Sarah took her for a walk while I took Syd and Tara for another run through the park.  I'm excited that they can handle these trails now!
