Savoring a warm January

Next year when we are freezing at this time we won't believe that we were doing these things in January...

 Slip & Slide with the neighbor kids in the backyard!

Charlie testing out our friend Olivia's Mermaid tail...she got the biggest kick out of him wearing it!

Here is what swimming at school from 12-1 in the heat of the day and forgetting sunscreen looks like!!

When Charlie was about two he was totally addicted to hockey and he would play for hours every day.    His latest obsession is BMX biking.  We are regulars at the skate park and he builds jumps in our driveway.

I recently learned what a "Pump Track" is and we have visited two of those now.  For you non-bike riders (which I still consider myself) it is a track that is designed so you just keep going over bumps and pumping your bike, if you ride correctly you shouldn't have to pedal.  I have tried it and just keep trying to not get hurt!  Here is a video of Charlie doing the "jump track", which had even bigger drops than the pump track! (I did NOT attempt the jumps)

He begs to go to the pump track every day!
