A taste of the outdoors

Today we experienced the perfect California weather. We must have missed it badly because we spent nearly the entire day outside. The kids rode bikes in the front this morning. We had lunch and Noah napped at the perfect time. Then we took the bikes to the park with friends in the afternoon, and even more riding bikes out front in the evening. I even got some weeding and pruning done in the front.

After living here nearly 2 years, it's one of the first time we took advantage of the fact we live at the end of a cul-de-sac. Olivia would ride a little ways up and down the sidewalk and Noah would stay in sight and come to me when I called most of the time. This is the kind of day I pictured being a mommy woue be like.

Here are my two little riders. (Noah still pushes with his feet, and this is his idea of smiling for the camera.)



Here is Noah with a little more of a cutie expression.



Check out Olivia concentrating hard. She has gotten so much more comfortable and better at riding her bike. She even fell at the park today and after a while to calm down, she was up and back on the go.
