Beautiful Bike Rides

First let me start by saying I had the most stupendous weekend. I was off of work on friday and I got the great adventure of taking my two sweet girls to the zoo. It was a gorgeous day. We saw everything. All of the animals were outside loving the weather as much as we were. We saw baby giraffe and elephants, the lions were actually roaring. I mean it couldn't have been any better. It was a great time, Alaina and i sang the wort hog song to the wort hogs. :) We skipped and laughed and it was just great being mommy and not a teacher for the day.

On another note I finally got a bike!!! It is purple. It is a hot rod of a bike. I LOVE IT. I got it on saturday. I have ridden it every day since. I have gone all over the neighborhood with my kids. Alaina and Leila are laughing at me saying "Mommy loves her new bike" and I do! Leila and I rode to one park on Sunday, and then to another park for a picnic on Monday. Samuel isn't so excited, because he would much rather be home playing video games, or watching TV, much to his dismay when i told him it was too pretty outside and they were playing outside until dark.

Let me tell you, if you need to feel young again get a bike. It is exhilarating. Flying down hills with the wind in your hair. Of coarse going up the hill is a different story. I am so happy for spring and warmer weather. And a new hobby. I have had my bike all of four days, and I have ridden it every day. I day dream about places i can ride.
