Splash Pads

To deal with the crazy heat today, we took the kids on a bike ride to a splash pad. There was also another frisbee golf course there that Brad and Kade played. It'd Kade's new favorite thing to do! And Brad enjoys it too. While we there we caught the free lunch program too by coincidence and ran into an old friend from Indiana! Pretty crazy and fun to catch up!
On the way home we had to ride along a busy road for a bit and for some reason when we turned to get on this busy road Kade went right out into the street instead of staying on the sidewalk. Brad and I always keep Kade between the two of us, Brad leads and I stay behind Kade. We were pretty clear with Kade on this particular crazy ride that he needed to stay behind Dad and always do what he did. He later said that he thought Dad had gone out into the street so he was just doing the same. By some miracle no cars happened to be driving in the road at that time and my screaming finally got Kade back up onto the safety of the sidewalk before any cars came near us. There's nothing like a close call like that to put things into perspective. Things may be hard and stressful right now, but I'm so grateful that my husband and kids are healthy and safe.
