We had quite the fun family day today. This morning, we went hiking through the hammock/wooded trail near the beach. The weather was gorgeous - 65 degrees for a high, light breeze, slightly overcast in the morning. We all were "explorers" in the woods and then came out onto the beach to search through the tide pools and dead seagrass piles for treasure....horseshoe crabs, hermit crabs, sea urchins, dead trunkfish, soft coral skeletons, driftwood, crabs.....anything we could find! What a blast. I managed to catch a few pictures of one of my budding scientists sitting in a tree.
Then, this afternoon, we all went for a ~5 mile bike ride through some of the fire roads here on the island. I had my youngest son on the back of my bike in the bike seat. He kept squealing with happiness because of all the bumps and puddles! He called it the "bumpy bike ride". :) It was awesome! But, now I'm sore....he's 40lbs and that makes the back of my bike BOUNCE - I need shocks. Ha ha! Too much disc compression for me today. It's all good....very good. Another day to be so grateful for....
