John left the house a Bear.
He returned as a Webelos. Congratulations John!
Bikes and Brews
It was a night out for Andy as he attended Bikes and Brews, which is part of Bike, Walk, & Wheel Week. The event started at Walt’s Bike Shop and spread out from there. There were various stops at different locations where you could sample different types of beers. Andy had a great time, arriving home about 11 pm. Maybe I will join him next year!
Just Another Night at the Ballpark
Prairie Fork Conservation Area
Andy and John went on a field trip with Unit B to Prairie Fork Conservation Area today. Like Laura got to do last week, Andy and John rode their bikes to and from school. John complained about the hill on the way there, but he still did well.
John had a lot of fun on the field trip. His favorite part was the pond and trying to catch things in the net. His least favorite part was the prairie because he found it boring. Both of my boys had a great time on the field trip!
Happy Mother’s Day!
It was a great Mother’s Day! It started with Laura giving me this drawing. I have another picture for my work office. I was most surprised to see that she has a new way of signing her initials on her artwork. I love it!
The rest of the morning was spent enjoying coffee and crepes with Andy on the back deck. The weather was beautiful and it was very relaxing. We spent the afternoon at the Mother’s Day Family Fun Ride that is part of Bike, Walk, & Wheel Week.
What a great way to spend a couple of hours with my family! The ride was on the paved Hominy Creek trail, and it was about five miles round trip. The kids got to pick up stickers at the different stops along the way so they could make a card for me at the end. I really hope the PedNet Coalition makes this a permanent Mother’s Day event. It was so fun and I am really glad that we went. We all had a good time.
The rest of the day was spent doing some things around the house and eating a nice dinner on the back deck. It was a great, relaxing Mother’s Day with my family, and it was exactly what I wanted!
FlipzUSA
Laura will never be too old to swing on the rope swing at FlipzUSA.
Free Ice Cream Cone
Since Laura was out with a friend for the night, we took the opportunity to ride our bikes to Sonic with John to use one of his coupons for a free ice cream cone. It was a great treat on a Friday night!
