Dad is Home!

This month Barry has been on his ER rotation and it has been rough. He hasn't had a full day home in the past two weeks. Saturday he had off and we took advantage of the sunshine (even though it was cold and windy). The lawn got mowed (finally), the house cleaned, and we went for a bike ride on a bike trail close by. It was a lot of fun and it was something we all equally enjoyed, which is a definite bonus, it's difficult to find activities that we all want to do.

You would think that Kara would be my speedy one, but she loved looking around at the scenery and seeing the birds. She just slowly rode down the trail. Tanner weaved his way up the trail in between the trail divider marks. Kendra was happy to be the the trailer along for the ride.

During our ride we found some batting cages that looked fun to try out. It's funny how we've lived here for two years and still find new treasures in Janesville. Our ride lasted about an hour once we got back home. We went out to a few rummage sales because Barry is now looking to buy a canoe. We came home empty handed, maybe next time!

We went to Dick and Nancy's house for a delicious lunch and then Kendra and Barry napped while Tan, Kara and I went to the library.
Later Barry and I got to go out on a date and we decided we needed to hit the batting cages. It was fun to try to hit, I wasn't any good at hitting the baseballs, even on slow pitch, but I could hit the softballs. Barry of course could hit anything.

It was a great day full of fun and it was so nice to have Barry home for a day, because of course he is on call today. I guess that the life of an intern.
