Bike or not the HK kick board is coming with...

Echo Lake

We took the afternoon Wednesday to get up in the mountains and visit Echo Lake Park for a short hike and snack by the lake. Ellary as usual enjoyed climbing rocks and really got a kick out of the fast running water as we made our way home.

A Well Deserved Kickboard

Ellary has worked hard to reach the three goals we established at the beginning of the summer. Previously we shared her achievements in riding bike without training wheels, coasting on her scooter and now she has passed swim lessons taught by possibly the worst swim instructors...her parents (kidding Lori and I both know our way around the pool so she is in good hands). Our girl is now proficient at floating on her back and stomach, can get to bottom of pool to retrieve pool toys and does a very good job swimming back and forth between M&D.

Therefore, in passing her class she is now the VERY proud owner of a Hello Kitty kick board. Can you tell whether she likes it or not?
