A Beautiful Saturday

Today was an absolutely gorgeous day, so, we tried so spend as much of it as we could outside.  Nina and Lyla did a lot of bike riding in the park by our house.

After riding in the park for awhile, they rode over to the playground for some more fun.  Nina and Lyla both love the playground but for very different reasons.  Lyla loves to swing, and Nina loves to climb.  One of Nina’s favorite things is to twist and propel herself from one end of the platform to the other while holding onto the handles. After sliding and doing a little climbing of her own, Lyla found some pinecones and relaxed in the tube until we went to the swings.

After riding home from the playground and getting a snack and some cold water, we headed back out to the neighborhood pond because Mark wanted to take the girls blue gill fishing.  Nina caught quite a few smaller sized bass and some larger blue gill.  I think after all the activity, they will definitely sleep well tonight!
