We spent Saturday morning in town to go on a bike ride and get some kites. I have been wanting to take the kids on some bike trails in town since KayDee really needs experience. Our road doesn't have sidewalks and is super intimidating for her. Kevin had to work so we all got in the car and he dropped us off along the way so we could ride our bikes about 3 miles to his work. KayDee was not thrilled but she did amazing. When we figured out all we had to do was make her the leader she actually pedaled her bike! She got scared going down a steep hill but then we talked about how to brake slowly. It was a fun time. I knew it would be a difficult bike ride and was prepared for several things. The one thing I didn't plan for was a bathroom break! Fortunately there was a club house that people were going in and so we used those facilities. It was a total success!
Every year Escalante Power gives kids a chance to read every day for almost 3 months to earn a kite or a book. KayDee's preschool class was allowed to do it this year so all three received a kite or book.
When we went to the golf course to retrieve the earned items, there was a new fire truck there for the kids to look inside. Of course my kids enjoyed this immensely.
"Stand in line." "Don't push." "There's room for everyone to take a turn." These were the things coming out of my mouth.
I got to hold 2 kites and one book while the kids found something extra to do. There were bounce houses, a climbing wall, a train ride, and other fun things to do or eat. I gave them a small amount of money (everything was so expensive!) so they could choose just one thing.
KayDee chose to do the princess bounce castle. Are we surprised? Not really. She loved it!
Derrick really wanted a snow cone and was so pleased since his choice lasted by far the longest!
Samantha chose the alien laser tag. Pretty adventurous!
We had a great time and then we picked up their dad.
