A Day OFF of School = A Day ON the Bike



On Friday KJ's school had an in-service day, so not wanting to let a beautiful fall day go to waste, KJ and I went out on the bike. Originally I had planned on a longer distance on a trail, but KJ had a busy day planned (haircut and an outing with his aide) so we finally ended up with a local trip to a park we don't get to as often.

The Children's Institute is a facility especially for special needs kids, as well as kids recovering from injuries. They have a playground that it adapted to those needs (ramps, special swings, etc) that is used for physical therapy, but it is also just a fun place to play! KJ's favorite activities are playing with the built-in tornado tubes (middle photo) and finding various rocks and sticks to push through the holes in the decking (bottom photo).

When all was said and done, we did a little more than 10 miles. We're now 74 miles short of 1000 miles.
