We've had some pretty crazy weather for the past week or so...chilly, rainy, then sunny and warm all in the same day! I still don't have my car so the girls and I have been biking it everywhere. I have a kid seat in the front of my bike for Kailee when Hailey rides her bike or a bike trailer in the back for both of the girls when we have to ride pretty far. I really enjoy biking but the weather is so unpredictable! The post isn't that large so getting to doctor appts, the commissary, preschool, the library, dance class etc isn't more than a 5-10 minute ride. Knock on wood that we haven't been caught in a huge rain storm yet!!! On Wednesday last week, my neighbor Tina and I tried to take the kids (Isabella 3 & Noah 2 and Hailey & Kailee) to Buffalo Park. It's a mile ride from the house and the park has wild bison, deer, boar, and some type of goat or ram in addition to a pretty cool playground. You can feed the animals through the fence. It was a nice, sunny day as we got our things together and then it quickly turned to rainy and cloudy. We decided to venture out anyway because most of the ride is under tree cover...it was a waste because all of the animals decided to take cover. We rode home and just had our picnic at Tina's house. Later that afternoon Hailey was supposed to have her first dance lesson but when we got there we learned that her teacher was injured and class was canceled for the day. What a bummer of a day...the only good news was that we made it home from dance before another afternoon rainstorm hit!
Decided to play at the park since dance was canceled
Always a monkey
While we were at the park I noticed a dark cloud forming and thankfully we made it home 5 minutes before the pounding rain came!
Our 2nd attempt at Buffalo park the following morning...the boar and Kailee, Noah, Isabella, and Hailey
The bison and deer from afar...it was their feeding time so they stayed pretty far away and ate
Kailee feeding the goat or ram...I should probably find out what they really are
At the playground...but guess what...it started to rain!!!!!!
A quick trip on the zipline and then we had to take cover to let the storm pass
The rain finally let up after about 20 minutes and we started our ride home but guess who fell asleep?? Maybe she has narcolepsy ! :)
The girls had doctor check ups (part of their in-processing if I ever put them in child care at the CDC) so since Kailee fell asleep we rode from Buffalo Park to the library and then to the doctor. Kailee stayed asleep at the library and then after the doctor appt we rode home as fast as we could because another storm was coming. We turned on our street as the pelting rain started!!
