Pupil Free Day = Long weekend!

Pupil free day meant a long weekend for the kids, and a good opportunity to rack up their KMs for this year's Great Cycle Challenge. Unfortunately, we hit a hurdle on Saturday, as our ride was cut short due to dad inadvertently stumbling upon a bindie patch and getting a flat (boo!).

Sunday was a no-go either, as big man celebrated his 9th birthday (where has the time gone?!), and we all know that you can't ride your bike if you're full on cake amiright?

Monday morning was a lovely day out at Floriade's big bulb dig as mum & dad put the boys to work unearthing the wonderful colourful tulip bulbs in preparation for next year (hah! no free day for you). All that physical labour was not an excuse to slack off, so it was back on the bikes to clock in the kms.

Saturday: 2km (then a flat tyre boo!)

Sunday: 0km (tummies too full on birthday cake!)

Monday: 13.5km around the lake!

Day 5 -

School holidays - windy but sunny.

I stayed home today, but Nicky spent his day at daycare. Daddy dropped Nicky off with his bike this morning. Mommy and I cycled to his daycare at the end of the day, and together we cycled home.

We took the longer way there (5.8km) but we took the shorter home (4.5km) because Nick has shorter legs, a smaller bike and complains a whole lot more...mommy and I covered a bit over 10km for our return trip home.

We stopped along the way to take over some Pokemon Gyms, spun some stops and caught some mons - gotta catch em all!
