Things you learn

Amelia has pneumonia, which stinks, but she's been feeling pretty good so she's been great company the last two days that she's been home from school. (She gets to go back to school tomorrow).

This afternoon it was sunny, so we headed out for a "run-bike" (Amelia's term--Momma runs, girl bikes). I took her on my favorite trail along the Sammamish River. It's a paved trail that goes for miles, and it's just a 5 minute drive from our house. 

This was our first time on an intentional "run-bike" and Amelia did great.  (We had many unintentional run-bikes last summer as she was learning to ride, but hadn't quite figured out the braking yet).  I loved running while talking with her (yet another reason why I love having big kids).  And we learned a few things.  
  • Stay in your own lane and try not to drive like a drunk.
  • Don't focus on the duck-muck or you just might end up in it.
  • It's not a good idea to run over your mom.
  • You don't need two legs to ride a bike.
  • The playground isn't as much fun without your sister.
