Caleb biking near the Arkansas River |
"Can we go to the BMX track at Burns Park, Dad?" Those were the words I had heard from Caleb a few times over the last few weeks. So I knew that he wanted to go - it was just a matter or making the time to go with him. And that finally happened last Friday - although our time together looked DIFFERENT than either of us would have envisioned!
The good news is that we had Caleb's bike loaded up and he was ready to ride - the bad news was that there was a race about to start at the track - so he could not ride (bummer!!). But, as the saying goes, "when life gives you lemons - make lemonade". We decided we would just have to find some other things to do to have fun at Burns Park - and we did!
On some rocks near the River |
First we took him down to another area of the park where he could ride his bike around. Then he rode from there to an area where they have a number of soccer fields. Finally, we ended up on a trail near the Arkansas River (See pics below) as the sun was setting. It was a fun day and Caleb got some exercise in riding all those places.
We finished up our time by grabbing a couple of Wendy's Frostys on the way home as a treat. We thank God for allowing us to have this time together AND for helping us to enjoy "His Plan B" for our time! His Plan B is ALWAYS better than our Plan A!!
