It's practically our backyard!

This past weekend, we decided to pay a visit to our favorite NorCal windsurfing spot, Sherman Island County Park (aka Rio Vista), just a quick 20 min drive from home.  We had no intentions of actually windsurfing though.  We can see the wind turbines that are across the river there (which happen to also be the background for this blog) clearly from our house, and there wasn't even a breeze.  But we wanted to go anyways, to see how it was, and figured it could be a good spot for the boys to get to ride their bikes around without having to deal with hills.  

Gus, of course, decided it was a better time for napping than for getting out to play, as he spent the entire hour we were there in this position:

   

Arjen, on the other hand, took a couple of spins on his pedal bike (no pics unfortunately), then decided he'd rather go check out the sand and water.  Didn't take long before he was splashing around having a good ol' time in the river.  And it definitely didn't bother him that the water temp was only around 50 degrees, and outdoor temp barely 60.  You wouldn't find me in there, but he was having a blast.  Had to bribe him just to get him out of the water!  Glad I was a good girl scout and had extra clothes in the car and even a couple of beach towels.  





Even the poor, neglected Pole-dog got in on the action...

  1. When did Arjen start using a pedal bike? The kids are excited to bike with him soon...
