Fun with daddy

The pool at the Casa de Hayes is closed for the season, that is, unless you are a polar bear and can tolerate what we Arizonans consider to be "cold" water.  But before we put up the net, Natalie and daddy couldn't resist hopping in one last teeth-chattering time.

Then they hopped on their bikes and went for a bike ride together.  She was very eager to show him some of her new tricks:  pedaling while standing, riding with no hands and riding through all the rocks on the sidewalk at the elementary bus stop.  Looks like pretty soon daddy will have a new lil mountain bike companion.

Poor daddy didn't realize he really shouldn't go for a bike ride with a toddler at 5pm with no snack stashed in his pocket.  I'm pretty sure the whole neighborhood heard the meltdown that occurred 2 or 3 blocks away.
