We celebrated Fathers Day by taking bikes to Middle Harbor Shoreline Park, where it's spacious and full of paths, perfect for riding. 

Maybe it was due to bringing Kit along on the newly installed doll seat, but Halina was an extra confident rider today.

Luke also had an amazing day on his strider bike, coasting down hills with his feet tucked up for the first time and generally covering a lot of ground.

We got a lot of sun & breeze with so much room to roam, and great views of the bay and the City. Boats of all kinds zoomed and floated by, the USS Potomac among them. The Port of Oakland is right there, featuring those enormous loading cranes. There's an observation tower where you can get a good look at everything.

Yes there is a goose poop problem. And a few people here and there hanging out for long, probably drug-related reasons in the parking lot. But there are people flying kites and having picnics, too. And did I mention the s-p-a-c-e ?

Just generally a fun, active outing, seasoned with affection and appreciation for Daddy.

(Caught here doing yet another selfless task.)

Hope he felt the love.
