Now that we're hitting the gym 4 days/week, we're not spending as much time at playgrounds as we used to. So, what are we doing to keep the kids happy?
Well, the gym daycare doesn't open until 3:30pm, so that gives us 30 minutes minimum to play before we go work out. Sometimes we still go to a playground. Sometimes we run errands. And sometimes we just go play on the track behind the Y, which is a perfect, safe place for the kids to ride their bikes (and since we're there so early, there are rarely many others out on the track to trip over us).
James and Manu often swap bikes halfway through playtime, and it cracks me up:
There is always a snack break, of course:
Once in the daycare room (sometimes we go in right at 3:30pm, and sometimes it's 4:00pm before we end playtime and head inside), the kids play with new friends and new toys:
And once our workout is complete, we go collect our kids and head home to start the busy evening chores. Sometimes we even make a spectacle of ourselves as we leave the building:
