Parks, Bikes and Riding the river

Aunt Jene, my sister, invited us to go down the river with her. Of course we took her up on it! We had a great time. If I remember right we were the only ones on the river that day! We ate lunch in the boat and had a great time spending time with Jene. Thanks!!


Have I mentioned how great it is to live in a neighborhood that has sidewalks and parks and so many fun things, so close to home to take the boys to. Below is actually 3 different parks close to our house. We've enjoyed many many days swinging, feeding the ducks, riding bikes, splashing in the splash pad, sliding down slides and reading time at the library. Yes, all minutes away from home! LOVE IT!!! With two active boys that would live outside if they could this is a dream for us!!
Most of you probably already know but Porter is loving bike riding. Brent had this ingenius idea to bend up the training wheels more and more till Porter was ready to have them taken off. It was quite a sight to see him biking with useless training wheels, but alas he would not let us remove them. They were his security blanket. Finally one day Brent ran over the training wheels with the truck ( I'm not saying it was on purpose, fate maybe ;) ) Clearly we HAD to take them off and Porter did just fine, as we knew he would. He loves bike riding! Some boys like sports, some like spider man but our little guy is loving his bike. He rides off road just as much as on. He really does well keeping up with dad pulling Mason behind in his trailor, Can you tell I'm a little proud? :)
