Run, Ride and a Rodent

The weather did thwart our beach plans Monday. It was just too chilly to have the girls play in the sand and water.

So what did we do?

Well, I ran. Made sure of that. The two nearby high school tracks were being used (boo) so I had to drop the girls off at my mom's and then go on a run. Knocked out 4.5 miles in the process. I have a 20-mile run on the weekend so I hope that wasn't too much mileage to start out the week.

The girls wanted to head out to the San Bernardino County Museum. Since we have a family pass it cost us nothing to get in. Once inside...



There were some friends for Kennedy to play with. First she got her hands on some baby ball pythons. Then, she got to hold a mouse...
 
Of course, she was fearless around animals. She rather likes animals. Well, she didn't get to hold these, and not sure if she would have...



As for Yvie, she was happy looking at (stuffed) animals through glass.


After our adventure at the museum we went bike riding. It was so cold and I didn't have my jacket with me. My fingers were frozen but we got in nearly five miles. The sun was setting on us so we had to motor through the last mile quickly but in a few short months we will have more than enough sunlight for us to ride twice that if we wanted.

So, no beach for us Monday but plenty of other things kept us busy.

The museum was a great idea! Kennedy is one brave little girl. I don't think I would enjoy getting that close to pythons!

That museum was a great idea! Not too sure about the snake and then the mouse. Funny how it's predator and prey.
