4:09 pm, New Britain CT:  big day today. Took kids on their first-ever street-to-park bike ride. For the most part, they were excellent riders and listeners. No one got run over, or even came close. Significantly expanded our horizons. Small park is about half a mile away, and has a path exactly a mile in circumference. They did it twice-and-a-half round and biked there and back over hills and many bumps. Not bad, especially for Quinn, who remains on a little 16-inch wheeler. 

Then a swim. Quinn can now dive. 

Then washing the dogs. Seems they get into poison ivy. So when Teddy hugs them, he gets it all over. Lovely ROI for his affection. 

Then some football tossing. And lunch of pizza and grinders. And of course, ice cream. 

Then a nap – kids were up super late last night with us at a big family dinner. Much dancing to live R&B. Very little beats dancing with my daughter. Except watching Teddy dance with her too. 

Nice CT summer day. 

Well, lazy for one person. See below.
