So Raif is gone on a business trip and in an attempt to keep my kids from realizing it I have been trying to do something fun with them every afternoon. Today we went to the park down the street. It has a great flat path, unlike the horrendous hill we live on, and so the kids can ride their bikes in more than just a big circle. I assumed it was just a path through the trees but oh how wrong I was.
Here we are entering the scary woods. While we were there the kids managed to spot not only a giraffe but also a flamingo. There were several brief spottings of the Big Bad Wolf but thankfully he was scared away probably by the giraffe. There were also lots of stop signs and oncoming traffic that I completely missed. Thanks to Greyson for pointing them out to me and helping me obey all traffic laws.
Here is Quinn cruising her way out of the forest.
I know that you may think that this is just a chain link fence. I did too, but it is actually a craftily disguised gas station where we stopped to get more gas for the bikes (by the way bikes take gas - who knew?). I also learned that bike gas generally takes on the form of rocks vs. the liquid form for automobiles.
After our grand adventures in the forest we relaxed with a good ride on the tire swing. Thanks to Greyson and Quinn for showing me all the things I would have missed if I had just been walking by myself.

So sweet! And I remember you wondering when they would start imaginative play. They showed you!
