Biking
I’m discovering that nothing beats a bike ride with my son Scott.
I let him choose our route and we end up biking for over 30 minutes.
He let me choose our route on Sunday and I took him over to the Golf couse (which he insisted that we not ride on since “that would not be choosing the right daddy!” (from a 5 year old!)). So I agreed and we continued up a steep hill! I was coaching him on how to succeed, but I think an innocent bystander (a guy and dog in an adjacent house) were the main motivators. You see Scott has a thing about dogs, especially those which are not secured in their yard. We had this dog follow us for about a mile the other day and Scott was not liking it one bit. I was able to scare the dog away (eventually) after we tried a few tricks to ditch it! (which didn’t work).
So I hope Scott learns that at least if he keeps pedaling – the dog won’t jump on him.
