I didn't get to ride bike -- At 4 years old, that means I hold on to my daughter (even though she has training wheels) the entire way. My son found every mud puddle available while looking for those plastic BBs the older kids have been shooting around here lately. I feel your pain as we were all muddy and cranky when we returned -- but we got some fresh air! :)Kim in MNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01580047414628214547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211543031504081746.post-37125506965976230642008-03-28T20:16:00.000-07:002008-03-28T20:16:00.000-07:00Yes, that IS what good moms (and dads) do.

But mine are little enough that I can't expect them to go too far. Those little legs can't go a mile! I guess an 8-year-old isn't that different than an almost-four-year-old.<BR/><BR/>What's your favorite entrance - the one on Canada Avenue, near the Iron Bridge? That's my favorite one, though the one down by the West Gym is great because if the water's low and the weather's god, the girls can go into the creek.Christopher Tassavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547273541099162779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211543031504081746.post-12427231670691742842008-03-28T19:45:00.000-07:002008-03-28T19:45:00.000-07:00Oh I admire your bravery.Oh I admire your bravery.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904564712432173588noreply@blogger.com
