Adventure Day 2

I think I bruised my butt! The thought of sitting on anything but soft pillows is frightening.

Bike seats are not comfy. If I could only make riding with a pillow under my butt look cool, I would totally do that. I may fall off my seat though, and I can't afford to bruise any other body parts.

I'm rediscovering muscles I haven't used in years, and they are all unhappy! Oh well, I knew getting back on a bike after so many years wouldn't be so easy.

There is such an adrenaline rush rolling down a steep hill right after you huffed and puffed and pedaled, you and the heaviest bike in the world, up it.

The views are amazing and the distance that you can travel so quickly with just pedal power is enough of a fascination to keep me doing this for awhile, I hope.

Now if I can just convince my butt that it won't hurt to sit on that hard tiny seat. Even the memory foam seat cover isn't helping.

Adventure Day 3 awaits! To be continued...
Smiles for your day.
Aloha,

Adventure Day 1

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
