Down by the creek

The kids like to walk down to the bridge over a little creek north of our home and throw rocks into the water. Before it got too hot this morning, the four of us headed that way. Rhett on his bike and Leah & Trey in the double stroller.

I think Trey had a good time.
We have worked a few times with Rhett riding his bike without training wheels. Today he went with the training wheels raised a bit so it was a little wobbly. And since we were on a gravel road, he was pretty tired when we got home.
Although Leah is "potty trained," she doesn't tell us when she needs to go. Instead she sits down with her legs straight out in front of her and rocks side to side. She did this in the middle of the bridge... So I took her over to the edge of the gravel and held her little fanny over the grass. She was a little shy to start but she finished great... no pee in her socks!
Congrats, Leah on popping your first squat!

I loved doing that when I was little. There used to be a huge walnut tree right where the road curves back north toward the bridge (maybe it's still there?!). We used to spend a lot of time gathering walnuts to throw in the creek,
