bicycle race

A five day weekend. Five whole days to keep four energetic children entertained and taken care of and fed and sane and alive. Oh, and did I mention that mom's been out of town for a week and a half? Abuelita and I have definitely had our hands full, but we're surviving quite nicely, if I do say so myself.

Thursday was a beautiful spring day and also the first day in about a week and a half that all four kids were healthy enough to leave the house. So leave the house we did!

We ventured down to the port with juice boxes and roller blades and spent the next couple hours soaking up vitamin D and letting out our pent-up energy.

The sequel:

This is the "Place of the Four Winds." Or something like that. But I think that "Perfect Place for Four Little Ninos to Run Around and Roller Blade For Awhile" would be a more apt name.

There was quite a bit of racing.

..And smiling and falling and laughing and crying and getting up to do it all over again.

Sometimes a beautiful day is just what you need!
