This was our last big outing for the year. We went on the Jordan River trail. I was trying to figure out how to get all the kids bikes in the car, it's a lot harder when the bikes get bigger, and so I asked if we could just roller blade. Everyone said yes and Brittin really wanted too. The last time we went rollerblading on the Jordan River trail we got our car broken into and our camera stolen. So this time the kids were nervous about leaving the car in an unsafe place so I decided to park by Gardener Village, thinking that would be safer, but when we pulled in to the parking lot there was broken glass on the ground and the kids started scream, I said I think it will be okay, and Logan said that is Satan just telling you that so stop listening to Satan and listen to us. Well I couldn't argue with that so we found our other favorite spot by the trail and got out. Well, Brittin was the first one out and first one with her blades on and finally the rest of us got our stuff on, then we started on the trail within 2min, I'm not lying, Brittin said lets turn around I'm done. I said no we are going to where we said, well that started everything, I'm never doing this again, why did you make me come, this isn't fun, why would you ever think this is fun, and on and on. While the boys are just skating away and having a great time. We finally get to our park and then they have a great time. What I have learned with my many years of being on the earth, or maybe my mom told me, is that if you do anything for too long you start hating it. So what I have to do is keep my kids excited about doing something is that we can't spend too much time at that one place. When I see that my kids have reached their peak of funness I say we have to go so that the next time I ask if they want to go they will remember that it was really fun and not how they got tried of it. I don't know if this really works or it is my way of not getting bored watching them, or the dreaded thing of them asking me to play, but that's what we do. SO we saw a lot of things and played at a lot of parks and took lots of pictures. And yes is the answer to the question is that Brittin did have fun and does want to do it again.
