Saturday was a perfect Michigan summer day:  sunny, bright, warm but not hot.  Perfect day to be outside.  So we loaded up the van and headed to the Willow Metropark.  Adam and Eddie put in a few miles on their road bikes, Aaron headed to the skate park and Arianna and I hung out at the play ground.  They have a very cool playground.  After the bike ride, Eddie joined Aaron over at the skate park.  It took almost all afternoon, but they both managed a 180 turn on the shorter, steeper ramp by the “speed bump.”  (Instead of just a half pipe, there are two ramps, with a hill in the middle.)  Woo hoo!  From watching Arianna on the play set, she has a good future in mountain climbing if she chooses.
