This is a post to go with #WednesdayWalk challenge by @tattoodjay.
Greetings, friends!
Friends, tell me what's going on? Where did 2 weeks go? It turns out I haven't written anything here for 13 days. It seemed to me that I had "not picked up a pen" for only a couple of days. I was very much immersed in the work and could not come out of it. In summer, time flies 2 times faster than in winter. I now wake up at 5 o'clock in the morning and sometimes even earlier, and go to bed around 12 o'clock at night therefore my day should be longer now than in winter, but something very strange is happening.
My eldest granddaughter came to visit us. This year she will be 16 years old. And my youngest daughter will soon be 15 years old. That's how it happens. On Sunday, a good idea was born by my wife - to go for a little rest on the pond and ride quad bikes. Let's go!
When we arrived at the recreation center, we were told that we need to wait a little, we have about an hour for a walk. We decided to take a walk on the water.
The granddaughter categorically refuses to be photographed - she covers her face or turns away. The girl is now in a period of denial. She wants to look different from everyone else, she wants to listen to music that not everyone understands. But at the same time, she is an introvert, afraid to be surrounded by strangers. This problem comes from her mom, but I think we will overcome this problem. Yesterday we even went to the ballet "Sleeping Beauty".
But back to our walk. I went boating with my granddaughter. She was looking around, I was working with the oars.
My wife and daughter were pedaling. This is the choice made by my wife.
It was funny. At some point, my wife said, "It turns out that pedaling on this boat is very easy." After a while, she said to daughter: "Oh, why did it become so hard to pedal?" It turned out that before that, the daughter was pedaling hard, and the wife was riding relaxed. The daughter showed her mother that she also needed to pedal.
In winter, my son and I went fishing and we were with him at about the same place where the fisherman is on the boat. We were unlucky with the fish then. This time I didn't see a fisherman catch a fish. It seems to me that all the good fish in this pond were caught by poachers.
My granddaughter and I were looking for white water lilies, but they were not visible on this pond. Why is that? I know a lake where there are a lot of white water lilies and there are no yellow ones. I realized this on Sunday.
But, friends, it's time for us to return to the land. Ahead of us was a quad bike ride. It turned out that one car broke down and we had to revise the composition of the crews. My granddaughter went with me on a big ATV, and my daughter went alone. I thought she wouldn't be able to drive the car, but she drove very confidently. I was surprised by this. I even have to say that she drove faster than me. I was afraid to drive fast on sharp turns, and my daughter was very adept at passing the track. Maybe it was because of the small size of her ATV and the small mass of my daughter? But I was happy for my daughter.
Here she is my daughter-a racer. Once I taught her to ride a bicycle on two wheels, but she couldn't do it and she asked me to put 4 wheels. It was a small bicycle. I decided that I had to buy her a bigger bike and she immediately managed to ride it. She was 5 or 6 years old at the time. Now she has already mastered the quad bike. What's next? Motorcycle, car?
A couple of finger movements and suddenly the daughter was already in autumn...We live in an amazing time. Once upon a time I used photographic film, and reagents for developing this film, bought photo paper, and transferred the image from the negative to paper with the help of a photo magnifier. And then it was magic for me too. I took my first photo at the age of 10.
Well. I wish all my friends, observers, and readers wonderful walks on Wednesdays. And also on Sundays and any other day!

Looks like a fun adventure and family time
I remember those days when I used to wake early like 4 Am and go to bed around 11 or 12 to keep up with work
Now I am settling into retirement do less and need to sleep more now going to bed at 9 but still awake at 4 I just cannot break that habit
LOL at your wife finding the peddling harder when your daughter slowed down her paddling
Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk :)
