A Bike Ride, Rio Vista Park For A Pic Nic Lunch and Rock Climbing!

We biked 6 miles round trip to Rio Vista park today as a family to enjoy some time together on our Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday!  It's fun to have a Monday off every now and then!  We biked down there and then enjoyed some sub sandwiches for lunch!  It was a beautiful day-- cold and windy, but beautiful!  Katelyn reminisced about playing at this park when she was little and how much bigger that rocket ship seemed!  We enjoyed rock climbing, but it was really hard!  I had run 6 miles that morning, plus the bike ride down there... by the time I got on that wall my muscles were shot!  Plus it doesn't help that I have horrible grip strength and forearm strength!  I found out you really need those 2 things in rock climbing!  It was fun though!!  Katelyn even tried climbing up the rope!  She got almost all the way up!  We were all pretty tired!  She and Dad got the last pictures on the way home... McKenzie and I were still a ways back-- McKenzie decided she didn't want to ride anymore and walked part of the way home.  Below is Katelyn doing a reenactment of when Brooke ran into this bush, or one near here when we did this bike ride several years ago.  We sent it to her today and she laughed!  She got pretty scraped up-- it was a really prickly bush!  It was a fun day!!!  I really enjoy being outdoors and the weather right now is gorgeous!
