Parks & Bikes

So over the past week the weather has been warming up and the sun shinning. We have been spending a lot of time outside and try to go for a daily bike ride. I am not sure who looks more forward to going, Maya, Zane or myself!  I know that Maya, our puppy, loves to be outside and will inform us she needs to go out just so she can play and not really have business to take care of! Zane loves to bike as he loves to race with his friends and I love being able to walk and run after Zane on his bike. In order to keep up with him you are either race walking or running! He can really get moving on his bike!  Last weekend Zane was the recipient of a new-used bike. He had been riding a 12 inch but has grown so much that his knees are almost hitting the handle bars. While at the PX during the holidays he hopped on a 16 inch and another lady saw him. She approached me and said when he was ready for a bigger bike she had one to give to us. She didn't want to throw it away. We were amazed at her kindness and generosity! It always amazes me when that happens! Zane now has a new bike and someone else will be getting Zane's old bike!

Boy and his dog, Maya. She would have loved to have eaten his pb&j!

This past week we have been spending a lot of time outdoors and at a local park playing with friends and having picnics. We will spend as much time outside as possible before we have to stay indoors due to rain or yellow dust.  Here are some pictures of our time at the park this past week. I know that we will be spending a lot of time at the parks and playing with our friends!
