You know how some kids are just born adventurers? They are constantly on the go, anxious to try one new thing after another - no fear? Well, not Meredith! She tends to be on the conservative side (hmmm - perhaps like her Dad)? She doesn't really mind trying new things, but she is very cautious and her tendency is to resist, at least at first. So it was no surprise that she was apprehensive about the pool. She now sort of enjoys the water in her bath as long as you don't get her face or hair wet (yeah, right), and that is the way she felt about the pool. "Thank you very much, this top step is fine and I'll have a great time as long as I can feel the sides and the bottom"! Anyway, she had a good time and the door is open to explore more the next time.
Biking was a little different. She seemed to really enjoy riding in the trailer...until she had to put her helmet on. The chin strap was tight and the back of the helmet pushed her face down! I have to admit she looked pretty miserable by the time we stopped for a break - -it was hot, the helmet had slipped down over her eyes and she had fallen asleep! We'll have to work on that one I guess. It was a good first try and we managed to get about 4.5 miles in on our new stellar bike path. Last year they took out the old railroad tracks and paved an awesome bike trail that now connects all the way from Glenwood Canyon to Aspen. It might be a while before WE make that kind of progress, though!
