A day in the life...

Summer is coming to an end, as it does we decided to spend the last few days in Yakima. The boys and I had a great time, particularly riding bikes. Diego has been hesitant through the process but he has really done great.

Yesterday we decided to go on a long bike ride on the Yakima Greenway, I admit I pushed the limits and we traveled too far, but the purpose of this blog is to give you a peek of the day in the life with boys, not just any boys, but my boys....

We are at the end of our trail. Just one more small hill and we would be at the parking lot and overpass of the interstate. Diego declares he has to pee, I have my roller blades on so I thought it would be easier to have Jordan help his brother.

They stayed close to the path (the interstate is just to the left of us) as there is not a lot of coverage. Just as little Diego begins, Jordan looks up and sees the path's water man approaching on his golf cart. Jordan instantly walks away, hands up, panicking. Poor Diego has committed and can't stop and is frantically trying to adjust his pants to no avail, thus is spraying straight up in the air and yes, drenching himself....

As I assess the situation I am rather amused. Jordan, walking away pretending nothing is happening, when clearly there was drama. Diego, focused more on yelling at Jordan than dealing with his current dilemma. Lastly, the mother trying to side step to the boy to help in whatever way I could, but in the end was too late, the damage was done.

As we regrouped and finished our adventure I explained to Jordan that this friendly old man understood the urgent needs of a 3 year old, and that casually peeing in the bushes was absolutely fine. However, I am almost certain as this man approached the scene of chaos he was thinking 'crazy', ' redneck', 'ghetto' - take your pick.

Memories of summer - to me, it will be a funny memory to look back on. However, the psychology in me wonders what kind of therapy will be needed. :)
