Let's Wear Them Out

On July 4th I was feeling a little antsy to do something fun with the kids.  My goal this summer has been to see how much it takes to wear them out, especially Austin who seems to have an endless amount of energy.  So we got up bright and early Monday morning and took the kids on a 10 mile bike ride.  Austin rode in the carrier with the baby but it was so hot and humid I thought that would still make him tired.  But after we got home and had lunch and I suggested we all go swimming they all jumped at the idea.


So we went to the pool for a couple of hours and then came home and changed clothes and headed to our friends the Mickelsen's for dinner and fireworks.  Before dinner Evan took Ryan and the kids on an atv ride in the mountains around their house.  They came home dusty and dirty but were still up for playing with their friends and staying up late to watch an impressive fireworks show with the whole Mickelsen clan.  We got home around 11 pm and amazingly everyone fell right to sleep.
