My kids and I mtn biked around Mirror Lake. By biked I mean they pushed their bikes and I "ran" carrying more fuel than I would for a 20mile run so I could feed them snacks every quarter mile.
It was terribly rocky. While they handled the downhill technical well (much to Mommy's fright... and pride...) some of the uphill and flatter terrain had them worried about completing the task.
So I pulled out the iPhone and started making a music video of them. It's amazing how a song they love (Pompeii) and a camera make all the tears go away and bring back the fun.
We had a great convo on the city of Pompeii, which they now want to explore in person and online with me. I am loving this- talking, playing, discovering with my boys. To think it goes by so fast, and they're already almost halfway grown...
