Bus stop

At the bus stop this morning I asked one of the girls what she did over the weekend.  "On Sunday we rode our bikes 7 miles."  Then Natalie, surprised by the coincidence, said "no way, on Saturday we rode our bikes 7 miles."  Other girl:  "Well, it was flat so it wasn't so tiring."  Natalie:  "Where'd you go riding?".  Other girl: "The tobacco trail."  At this point in time, Natalie laughed and crinkled up the corner of her nose in astonishment. "That's where we went riding!"

It is truly awesome and infectious to watch your children display utterly ingenuous and unaffected enthusiasm and glee. There's nothing better.  And to think that puberty is really, really, just around the corner. We can only hope it will last.
