Park Adventure

A few weeks ago when the weather was quite nice after an unseasonably long, cold winter, I decided to take the kids to the park. My seven-year-old daughter decided she wanted to ride her bike and her twin brother wanted to ride a scooter. They wanted to ride/scoot all the way to the "Doggie Park" which is a park located about 3 miles from our home (they call if the "Doggie Park" because it has a par course that circles the park and many people walk their dogs on the course). I went along with the idea knowing full well that we would never make it all the way to the "doggie park."

We set out on foot and scooter and bike, walked four blocks when my twins realized that we were coming up on a different park. They begged to "take a break" and play for a bit before we continued on our way to the "Doggie Park." So, we played for a bit, apparently just long enough to be too tired to want to keep trekking to the "Doggie Park". They begged me to go get the car so I could drive them home. Instead I ended up carrying a scooter, pushing a bike, holding two helmets, and anything and everything else we just could not leave home without. We barely made it home, we were so tired. However, the important thing is that we made it! We probably will not try that again too soon.
