A bit ironic

Yesterday our temps finally broke free making for a beautiful spring day in the 50's. The fact that it coincided with a day off of work should have been the perfect recipe for a ride. Alas, it was not to be.

With Xander's school musical yesterday morning and Amy's role as make-up artist, Maia and I got to hang out for the day. While we had a good time, it did derail any plans that I might have had for a ride.

Ironically, we went outside and Maia rode her bike for a little bit before we went to pick Xander up from school. When we got home, Xander and I went out and played some catch before he decided to ride his bike for a bit. Perfectionist that he is, we're still working on getting him off of the training wheels. With the training wheels, he's unstoppable, but the second we take one off he gets gun shy and rides so slowly that he can't help but tip over. We'll get there or it will be a long summer with the neighbor boys wanting to ride and Xander retreating into the house.

So, for the first time ever, my kids rode more miles than I did for the day.
