Nick, Sarah and I go for a bike ride, find water fun.

We gave mom a break today and let her stay in the cool house while we went for bike ride downtown. The city of Knoxville opened up a new playground last week to take the place of an aging, but fun, all wooden playground that we have frequented over the years and the kids affectionately call Sam's park. I have no idea how it got that name.

The new parks is bright and shiny and all metal and plastic. I think I prefer the older wooden one and wish the city had decided to fix that one up instead. Sarah said she liked Sam's park better too.

The new park is right next to the old World's Fair Park and the water fun. So, the kids had a ball playing in the water and keeping cool. After cooling off and playing for a while, we continued our bike ride. As we were cruising by Calhoun's on the river, Nick talked me into stopping to get some wings. He is wing crazy. Sarah and I got some Nacho chips and cheese and rested for a few seconds before continuing on our ride.
