The weather was too perfect so we decided to check out a new Metropark (new to us). We loved watching the geese (from a distance), the dog walkers, the ducks and the tadpoles.
We weren't exactly dressed in our Lance Armstong attire and B quickly tired of riding her training wheels (with skirt hiked between her legs) through the gravel. Do we have a future sister missionary on our hands?
Addysen almost had "the most embarrassing moment of my life," when she nearly rode her bike into the water. Luckily for her, she managed to stop just short of submersion and only her foot and front tire got wet. That would have been bad enough, except it just-so-happened that a boy that she "
doesn't like," (yeah right) was enjoying the day with his family as well. They were about 15 feet away when the disaster almost struck.
Truly a nature lover, Cannon could spend hours trying to catch tadpoles, fish, snails, or anything else has to do with water, mud or sludge. He was never without a stick in hand and was very sad when it was time to go.
I mentioned the losing battle with Brynnley's bike. My brilliant idea to try and ride it while pushing the stroller turned out to be less-than-productive. It was a good leg workout nevertheless.

I am completely jealous of your part of the country's beauty. We go for walks and find Caliche, clay dirt, rocks, dead plants and sometimes a lizard. My kids didn't even know what a tadpole was until I took them to the Springs Preserve. How sad. You're an awesome MOM!!!!
You make me laugh so hard. I love that last picture. Hilar. You are a super good mom to take them out and do this. It makes me tired just thinking of it! :) Miss youQ
You are a good mom. This week is our spring break and so far the neighbors have taken my kids bowling, swimming and to the park for a picnic. Aren't they nice?
That park reminds me of the park you took our family to when we came to visit you a few years ago. We had so much fun!!
You are such a great mom!
oh i miss the metro parks! how fun to go out bike riding, lucky ducks.
