Homeschooling has definite advantages. Mikey has been in town for the last few months since he's off track with school. Today he came down and wanted to go on a bike ride. We all got loaded up and made a morning of it. I packed a little lunch for Elle and we dropped her off at Tiny Tots before going home. Garrett and Elle rode in the bike trailer behind me. Hunter just recently learned to ride a two wheeler. After practicing...a LOT, I figured he would be good to go on a trip around town. As it was we stayed off of main streets. On our route we went down the marina. It was picturesque!
We also went down to the First Street pier. We were there just in time for a man to catch a fish, which was very exciting! He let the boys touch it and then gave them high fives with the tail. We took advantage of the learning opportunities and as we rode I would point things out and talk about them. For example we rode by some Golden Poppies. I told the boys that it was the California state flower and it's illegal to pick them. The boys thought that the police would immediately show up to haul them to jail if they picked one.
