Fueled with ice water and raisins, we are ready for a quick 5 mile ride around town to pick up a few things before our swim! First up, 2.5 miles downhill – lots of fun with our new (hand-me-down) trailer to pick up my swim hat at school. Then, biked over to the pool supply store for new kick boards. Kids will learn to swim this summer!
Finally, a kick ass 2.5 mile hill climb back to the house. Phew. The two of them plus the trailer is 100 pounds!!! Kept asking them to sing to me but they were too busy hiding behind their kickboards to notice the hill mommy was climbing. This was the pre-ride **fresh** photo!
Then, off to swim! Life is good.
Who’s getting fit with their kids this summer? Who’s getting fit? What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer?

It’s awesome to see that you all are enjoying all this time together! As for my own fitness, I am trying to ride my bike to school on the 2 days a week I can, and I’m re-detoxing my diet to get back on track. Summer can equal ice cream and that’s now always such a great thing! I’ll keep reading these blogs to keep me inspired.

Swim! I’m training for my first sprint tri, so I’m swimming three days a week (and running 3x and biking 2x) and loving it. I’ve been thinking about getting one of those trailers to pull behind me so I can bring my daughter with me. You like yours, obviously?

Feener, I LOVE my trailer too. We’ve had it for 5 years and it’s going strong. Both my kids can still fit in it (they are 4 and 7, but on the small side) and honestly, they rarely fight. Now my 7 year old is big enough to take her own bike on many rides, while my 4 year old rides.

The trailer looks like soooo much fun! I wonder how my toddler would like one?
The toddler and I have been going to the gym every day as he loves to play with his friends at the childcare. We have also been doing lots of hiking, swimming, and just playing in the park. Summer is great!

You amaze me! It’s awesome that you do your errands on bike instead of using the car. So inspirational…
