Summer Vacation - Day #24

Today we were going to go to Onondaga Park for Parkway Sunday to ride bikes but opted to stay closer to home and go to Santauro Park.

Watch out! Liz is a speed demon on her bike, talking to herself and pretending the whole time she is riding.
Patrick has taken to riding his two wheeler literally over night. He wanted to take the training wheels off about a month ago (I think because kids at school had). We rode then a bit but he was cautious and unsteady. Now he is doing awesome, riding and turning for a long time, so well.
There are a ton of pictures of him riding, just because we are so proud.
Santauro Park is such a great place to ride. The kids and I were playing gas station, bank, fast food..................all the places they could "drive" up for service.

Patrick just needs a little steadying from one of us and then he is off.







This is my favorite picture from the morning. He is so happy, so proud, and so confident. I can't believe that Patrick is such a grown up kid!

Patrick could have rode ALL DAY. He was so proud of himself. He kept asking, "How long did I ride that time?" He can't get himself going yet, but is so close.
This afternoon we went to Will's 4th birthday party.
It was a pirate themed party.
The birthday boy!! The kids got to walk the plank over a sea filled with gators and sharks! It was a cute touch.
Don't you just love the hook and the patch??
Arrrgggghhhhh, matey.
The kids were crossing with two patches after their first run. I was a bit nervous, it looked slippery, but Pat made it. Watch out for the lizard
Liz worked hard on the treasure hunt that was set up for the kids. It was hard on her little legs, running all over three acres!
Mommy initially told Liz that she couldn't go in the pool. She's testing the waters.
Testing some more........
She is too darn cute to say no to!
