Bike Riding and Playing at the Park

Eve and I went on a long bike ride on April 11 and stopped at a couple parks on the way.

Nate and Ellie convinced me that they could ride their bikes all the way to El Dorado Park on April 27. They did a great job riding the 5 mile round trip. We stopped to play at the park.

Eve’s Spring Concert

Eve all ready for her school’s spring concert on April 25. They sang some songs including Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and played the bells. It amazes me that Mr. G can get preschoolers to pronounce words like atrocious and precocious.

Playing Outside

In April, we tried to enjoy every minute outside that we could before the weather got too hot.

Ellie and I went on a date on April 26. We were spending her birthday money. We had to take a break from shopping to get some frozen yogurt. Ellie liked that Bugs Bunny cartoons were on the yogurt shop TV.

Nate made his first grilled cheese on April 27. It was perfect and he was so excited that he made his first grilled cheese.
