As a surprise to Jack we went ahead and got him the killer new BMX bike he wanted a whole 2 months early for his birthday. It really seemed silly to have him wait all summer long, while his friends were riding and hanging out together. And nope- he had no other bike to ride (it had been passed down to Tucker). So in celebration of this I took the boys on a local hiking (well I hiked. They rode) path…and into the woods we went to ‘explore’ and you will not believe what we found…this was truly a magical surprise…
Cool huh?
But if you are part of the ‘establishment’ or work for the ‘suits’ can you do me a favor and keep this just between you and me? I don’t want anything to happen to my secret place. And because it was Fathers Day, and I was missing my Dad something awful today…I imagined he orchestrated the whole thing as a gift to his grandkids and me.
Thanks Dad.

So, that is super awesome! Looks like lots of fun. And congrats on the new bike!
magical and WONDERFUL. i’m happy for you and your boys marcy :)
Very cool! I’ve been taking my boys out to tide each day, too. No trails like that, though!
Your boys look like they are in heaven. How fun!! I need to go out and explore our beautiful city. I can’t believe all of these hidden gems. Thanks again for the dry-lake tip. I’m taking the kids exploring tomorrow. :)
I think some dads must have been in on that. In any case, what busy beavers they were! And what a healthy alternative to video games on a summer day.
