We spent a great day family day yesterday, there were two highlights...

1) Our first family bike trip! We decided to try biking all the way to Parc Lafontaine, Leo was attached to my bike on the trail gator and, other than the few times he put on his breaks while I was pedaling we did great. Clara was behind Leo and I. She rode on the bike path like a pro. It was her first time and according to Marc (who was riding behind her) she was super, she stayed in her lane and kept her speed under control. We were really proud of ourselves when we arrived at our destination to play for a bit. The trip home was a bit harder as it is a bit uphill. Leo didn't help pedal much but I did fine making it home. Clara complained that her legs hurt and got off her bike and walked for a block. She is a determined kid so after her break she hopped right back on and kept going!

2) Soccer night with Papa. Yesterday was the first Monday night Marc could come to soccer with us. Since today is the Saint Jean Baptist holiday there were less kids in attendance. I'm pretty sure that is why Leo participated and had fun for the first time! I am so proud of my guy. He loves to play soccer at home, loves to kick the ball, and shoot on goal and last night he finally did all those things with a great big smile on his face on the soccer pitch. Clara enjoyed her soccer class as usual but she really loved having and audience for the entire time. Up until last night I would go between her group and Leo's (usually with Leo tagging along) and I only got to see her play briefly. Yesterday, I watched the first half of her session and then switched with Marc and he got to watch the second half. She plays great and is really good a redirecting the ball from an oncoming attack!
