LSU Lakes

Back in our pre kid days, Jen and I used to walk/run/bike around the LSU lakes a lot. The view around the water is great and it is such a friendly environment where it makes you want to get out and be fit. During our own personal Baby Boom, venturing to the lakes has been somewhat non-existent. With the nice weather this week, we took all the guys out there this past Sunday. Owen rode on his “4 year old bike” for the first time outside of the neighborhood. He was a little apprehensive at first due to the change in terrain and the dropoff from paved road to dirt trails, but he adjusted nicely learning that he needs to push his pedals more on the uphill and less on the downhill (NOTE: These are not really hills, more like small inclines, we don’t have any real hills in BR). Parker and Jack were pretty happy to be strolled around when they weren’t fighting over some toy or their Cheese-Its. Of course, Ben was perfectly happy getting pushed around as well. We stopped for a juice box break and were able to snap this pic. Now that everyone is a bit older and much more mobile, we plan on making a habit of heading out to the lakes more often.
