Detours

Whenever we say,
"Let's go on a (fill in your choice of an outdoor physical activity)",
the kids always say,

"For how long?"

And they have good cause because we usually
tend to stay out three to four times longer than initially planned.

Why?

Because we're on an adventure!

The result of these crazy family experiences?

Picture Lehi's family leaving Jerusalem.

Yes, there's a fair amount of murmering,
but in the end (and unlike the story :),
they all come around and
when all is said and done
we can collapse on the driveway
grateful for the time we spent together-
or at least happy to finally be at home!





On this adventure
we cycled to a new park only to find that it was still closed!

Can you imagine what this did to our team's moral?

We bucked up and headed to another park
before turning for home,
spotting some work being done to the bike path.

We'll have to come back to check it out when it's all finished...

But we'll give the kiddies some time to recover first!
