Monday was officially day one of Spring Break! In a serious effort to get my kids moving, we were up early...ummm this seemed to confuse them, as they whined that it wasn't a school day. I said, it's eight, not six thirty, wake up, I want to go for a bike ride.
Older son got up and started getting ready, younger son, ugh! Opposition and defiance. I made him choose an activity that he would promise to do if he wasn't going to join us on the bike ride, he finally agreed to walking in the afternoon. Fine.
The bike ride was a quick hour and a half. We really need more bike lanes and it needs to be safer for kids to ride in neighborhoods, especially around schools. Sorry, I went off track. Ummm?
Oh yes, the afternoon walk was great except for the complaining child that was refusing to go. I thought we had a deal?
He forced me to use my threatening scary mom voice! I really don't like doing that, but as it was for his own good and mine, I had no choice. As soon as we started the walk, he was great and really enjoyed it.
Reflecting back on the day, it was a good start to the possibility of getting my kids more active everyday. I'm hoping.
Okay, ready for adventure day 2? To be continued...
Wishing you an amazing day!
Aloha,
Maile
