The girls and I go to the German Colony Neighborhood (where we first lived, so the memories are many!) each Tuesday afternoon for a children’s music class. For various reasons, today we got there an hour earlier than necessary. Thankfully I had the foresight to think ahead, and I put the girls’ bikes in the trunk of our car. The area behind our first apartment, formerly an abandoned, overgrown train track, has been transformed into a lovely walking and biking path that now stretches for many miles across the city landscape. A perfect playground for children!
Elizabeth has perfected the art of riding a balance bike. The long, straight path was like a bit of heaven for her!
This picture captures Sarah’s enthusiasm at spotting “her letter” – by which she really means “her number”.
The afternoon sun provided us with extra long shadows.
A shadow portrait that includes the huge leaf found along the way!
The grins say it all (Sarah’s is hidden by the shadow). It was a perfect afternoon!
