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.
