Week in review: June 23, 2009

Tuesday I dropped the kids off at day camp with the bicycle and then dropped the trailer off for hubby to bring home.  I’m not sure why I didn’t do that last year…  It collapses down very easy.

Wednesday I ran an errand to the Dollar Tree to pick up some arm floaties for the kids.  it was just about 2.5 miles round trip.  It was very HOT and hilly.  I really ought to get baskets for the rear of my bike.  It would make those errands a bit easier.  I’m wanting to ride to the library soon (it’s about an 11 mile ride.)

Thursday was a drop-off in the morning and a pick up in the afternoon!  Double the ride.

Friday I didn’t wake up in time to take them to school, although it was much cooler this morning.  We did skip the Kids Run for Fun and headed to the pool instead!

Weekend

Saturday was a beautiful day.  We (hubby) put the bike rack on the back of the van, loaded the trailer in the back and hauled the bikes to Moraine View State Park.  The Lake isn’t very big.  They have a beach, but we didn’t bring money to swim there, though we brought the swim suits and towels.  We parked by the boat ramp and bicycled around the lake.  It isn’t very big.    We stopped at a playground just past the beach area and stopped to play for a bit before we continued.  It was VERY hilly…

Sunday we went to the pool (Hubby’s employer has an exclusive park with a pool so it doesn’t cost anything).  Baby girl went down the water slides with little prodding and Little Man wouldn’t go down at all.  He doesn’t like the water in his face, even with goggles on. 

While Little Man was at VBS, Baby Girl wanted to watch me play Yoga games (Wii fit) so I obliged, in no particular order:

• Advanced Step
• Tight rope walking (beginner and I made it across)
• Bubble walk (Expert, didnt’ make it all three times)
• Soccer heading (advanced)
• Penguin slide
• Jackknife challenge (20 reps)
• Advanced Hula Hoop (6 minutes – 3 minutes each direction)
• Table tilt (beginner & advanced)
• Rhythmic Boxing (6 minutes)
• Regular hula hoop

Then we went outside to walk to the pond to feed one piece of bread to the fish and back home again.  Afterwards, we blew bubbles. 

A pretty good weekend.

Tuesday!

Today I was able to bike the kids to day camp, despite having a sleepyhead.   Little Man woke up before 6:30, so I woke up baby girl.  she was up late last night (past 10:00pm) due to a 2 hour nap!

Over lunch hour, I biked  to Meijer to pick up a few things.  Now I’m getting ready to ruin my bike rides with a Jeno’s pizza for lunch.  hee hee!!

Now, I really need to get going on yoga and strength again…  Maybe I’ll have to start my 15 minutes fitness challenge to myself again and biking WON’T count.

Friday

Bike ride to school.  I was able to leave the trailer and the ride home was much easier… 

We also bought a bike rack for my van so I’ll be able to take the kids out of town to ride.  The trailer collapses easily and can be thrown in the back of the van.  the downside?  We’ll need to get the attachment for my bike so we won’t be able to use it this weekend.  Besides, I think it’s supposed to rain.

yippity skippity

Little Man will be spending Monday June 1 at Grandma’s house.  His last officialy day of school in June 2nd.  He only goes for an hour.  I will be able to start riding the kids to school on the bike again!!  YIPPEE!!!  I can’t wait!!  I’ll be keeping track of mileage on dailymile, so if you’re there, look me up!

It’s been a while…

Summer is almost here and the weather is finally getting nice.  We are starting to go for rides more and I’m looking at bike racks for the van.  Ironically so I can drive to other places to ride the bike with the kids.  ~sigh~  On that same note, I have joined Deb on dailymile to keep track of my miles walked and biked.  So no widget here for this year. 

a looooong bike ride

It’s been a while.  today after lunch, I put on the helmets hitched up the trailer and went on a long bike ride.  Total mileage was 13ish miles.  Most of that with kids in tow.  We have a bike trail and we hopped on and went to the end.  One of the bike shops had their open house, so we stopped for a bit.  Little Man’s school is also on the trail, so we stopped to play on the way home.  Daddy met us there, he was in the van as he had to run to Sam’s Club then Sears.  Both kids went with him, so I collapsed the trailer for him to take with him.

Total mileage this spring is 19.372 miles (since a new battery was put in the odometer)

• A pick up from school (it was very windy that day)
• Trips to three different parks
• a long ride on the trail

I wish that we’d have been able to get out more, but it’s been too rainy to take the kids out.

Tuesday morning

I woke up early this morning and was unable to go back to sleep.  Ugh…

before I got ready for work, I did the Yoga series on Wii Fit.

• Deep breathing
• Half Moon
• Warrior II
• Tree
• Sun Salutation (Back bend, forward bend, Chair repeat 3 times)
• Knee lift
• Palm Tree
• Chair
• Triangle
• Down dog
• Dancer

As well as Advance Step & Ski jump.  My Wii fit age this morning was 26!  yippee!!

An update of sorts

It’s finally been nice enough to ride the bicycle and hauling the kids around.  I did get a new battery for the odometer.  YAY!!!  I really want to get a bike rack for my van so I don’t have to toss it in the back.  It can’t be that good for the bike.  At least the trailer collapses down.

Saturday 4/18: I brought the bike and Trailer to my Dad’s house and rode them to the park.  We took the long way home.    I don’t have mileage, but it was good.

Thursday 4/23:  I picked up Baby Girl from daycare with the bike.  Little Man had already gotten off the bus so he went with.  It’s a good thing too.  It was VERY windy and if he hadn’t been there, the trailer would have been blowing all over the place.  I admit. I had to stop a few times for a rest.

I thought about riding it Friday, but it was much windier than Thursday so we didn’t.
