Saturday was a BEAUTIFUL day in San Diego so we took the kids for their first long bike ride. Growing up, we used to go for bike rides all the time as a family. Both Dad & Mom had a trailer on their bike - there were 5 of us after all - and we'd bike down the Olentangy River and have an ice cream stop along the way. Nothing like bubble gum ice cream during a bike ride with the family!
So Saturday, we went along the harbor from home down to Seaport Village. Jeff had the honor of riding the bike with their trailer for the entire 9 miles. Not bad training for the tri!! Too bad the race will be 12 miles and there will be a significant hill, but as far as I'm concerned, training with a trailer weighing 30 pounds with two kids in their weighing over 50 pounds combined, that's some good training, even if it is a flat ride.
At Seaport Village, we found the carousel for the kids. I told them about it the night before so they woke up saying how they were going to ride a pink horsie (guess who?!) and a blue horsie (guess who?!). Emily has LOVED carousels ever since her first time on one - at Elk Grove Park District when she was probably just over 1 year old. Kyle on the other hand has taken some warming up to them. Probably since we went to Disneyland in September he has found a great love for carousels. They just can't get enough of them! Something about going up and down and around in circles pretty fast is so enthralling for kids. It sure is nice! I wish adult life were that simple!!
