However... that is some real recency bias (where your brain weights recent things as more important than further away things)
The start of June has been grey and wet and cold. But I was looking through photos and I realized that it was sunny in May. Almost warm!
I was going to be super advanced and work on my photo album project tonight but instead I have decided to write a photo blog post about May.
In May we took a family trip to a local National Trust site. Aubrey and Clara held hands! This was part of our first all day adventure (ie not being home 11-3 for naps) since 2nd January 2025. It went OK... but I have definitely gotten used to days having a rhythm that includes a midday baby nap and general downtime.
We did a family trip to the local bike park again with all 4 kids. It went even better when the twins found this great slide / bike jump:
Ezra rolled some bumps:
Andy took the kids on adventures in May while doing daddy daycare. Lily knows how to dress for adventure:
We tried our first family "hike" in some nearby woods. It went terrible since Aubrey decided she hated nature. She is the first toddler I have ever met who hates the outdoors. She may have found the whole experience overwhelming... but it was a lot of crying. We will try again.
After the bike park some of our frineds came back to our house for lunch which is just about my favourite thing ever. I wish people could come over for lunch every day.
In May we lost and then reunited with Bunny. It was a happy ending all around
In May I took a cold water dipping course with my gym buddy. When I say my gym buddy is a gym person I am not joking. Doing arm workouts with a person who has super strong arms is great for building arm strength.
From photos it appears May was a month of outdoor adventures and family fun. Here's hoping it stops raining so June can have some fun adventures as well.
What was your best May adventure? Have you ever done cold water dipping?
Ha! Your gym buddy really is a "GYM" buddy, not just a random friend you are forcing to work out! I think having someone like him in your life is priceless, as you need those kinds of people to get you out doing things! I ran with a group where many of the guys were way faster than me, but it made me faster and stronger and more confident. Even just hearing them behind me breathing made me try to run faster to stay ahead of them (I mean, who am I kidding, normally they were in front of me!)
