Father's Day Swim

We took the kids to the YMCA to go swimming on Father's Day and I got to swim a few laps.  I was the only one in the lap pool and it was glass smooth!  After a few laps I could tell that I'm totally out of swimming shape.  Time to get back in the pool!
The girls and I are taking some long camping trips this summer and I'm trying to decide if we should take the bike.  I'm thinking just the trailer/stroller and do a lot of walking so I don't have to worry about finding a spot to lock the bike up everywhere.  We are super excited to visit the beach, tide pools, rain forest, mountains, and Mt. St. Helens!  Time to practice our hiking skills!  Over the last few years, the girls have been able to hike up to a 2 mile hike somewhat happily (depending on the scenery).  This year, I'm planning on 3 mile or less hikes, and only one per day (minus the walking on the beach fun).  I think they can manage!  We will have to take some practice hikes in the Dishman Hills or at Mt. Spokane.

Flag Day Bike Ride

Since we had so much fun on Monday, I decided to take us on another bike ride to the park.  This time WITH swimsuits!  The ride went much quicker this time and it felt pretty good!

6-11-12 Bike Ride

Today we took a 4 mile bike ride to the park.  It was a spur of the moment ride because the weather was just too nice to stay inside.  I was going to go on the Centennial Trail, but at the last minute I went straight instead of turning and went to the new Greenacres Park.  We've been there before, but this was the first warm day and boy was it crowded!  The water features were turned on and kids were having a blast (we didn't have changes of clothes since it wasn't planned :(  ).  All in all, for not working out nearly enough lately, I did a pretty good job with the ride and maybe we will do it again tomorrow if the weather cooperates!

May/June

Working out has really been limited to working in the garden and on the patio.  Not that that is easy work, but it isn't the same as a "workout." As soon as the weather turns dry and warm we will be riding bikes as often as time allows and walking/jogging too.
