River Walk

There is a trail along side a river, a ways from our house.

I discovered it when I did the 5K run, because the course we ran took the trail

for part of the run. I have been wanting to take the kids, and finally had a free

afternoon (so did Quinn). The kids wanted to ride their bikes and Ash got to take a

lone ride in the double stroller (I had a feeling Kaipo wouldn't make it the whole way

on his bike). The kids did really well on their bikes and we had quite a nice walk/ride.

It was somewhere around 95 today, so when we finally found a spot along the trail that

we could actually GET to the river, it was very refreshing!!

The river is actually quite swift and we have heard that some

people do raft down it. So we may just have to try that

sometime soon! Ash was enjoying sitting in the COLD water

and eating dirt, pebbles, or whatever he could find.

Kaipo lost one of his slippers (flip flops) and yelled to
Daddy, but he just wasn't quick enough.
The kids wore their swim suits, but QUinn and I didn't.
As you can see, Quinn was still a trooper and took the
kids OUT into the faster flowing water.

Of course it is always fun getting to the desired destination,
but the ride back was quite a bit harder (especially for Kaipo-
with only one shoe). Luckily we brought the double stroller.
Boy did we get our work out, me pushing both the boys uphill
and Quinn running with Ame, carrying Kaipo's bike!

I am so glad we made the effort to go in search of the river walk.
I only wish we would have discovered it sooner!
Hopefully we can try tubing before the summer is over :)
