I have 5 kids. My kids are older than babies. I like to draw. I draw locally. I am interested in bikes, but do not ride one.
I hike and ride bikes. I have visited 12 national parks in the US. I am taking a trip to Oregon. I own a Subaru car.  I have 2 kids. I ride a Giant bike. I do mountain biking. I like road bikes. I own and ride a Cervelo bike.
What's your itinerary for you bike trip in Oregon? I would like to stay on the coast as much as possible. There are a lot of coastal towns I'd like to visit. Are coastal towns an ideal place for your biking pasion. I am under the impression you will find more beaches there. How would that be good for biking. Sorry if that is a dumb question. My knowledge of biking is limited. Oregon has a lot of bike trails near the coast. I'll stay close to the beaches, but not on them. There are a lot of cliffs and hills around the ocean that are fun to bike. How are your kids doing? I hope you enjoy your biking vacation. They are a handful. Need my attention all the time, but they are adorable. My life circles around them. Whenever I find time I retreat to my painting. Wish I had more time. That is a tough dilemma. You definitely need time for yourself, but kids come first. Have you painted or drawn anything interesting lately? I just started a canvas depicting the diversity in our country. I do not know how long it is going to take me to finish that. Wish I had more time. When you break up your attention your imagination also gets diverted. That makes sense. Do you ever enter your pieces into art shows or competitions? No. I am not that good. It is more a passion. I wish some day I could do that, but I really wonder with the personal time available to me. Have you considered getting a sitter to watch the kids, so you could have some more time? I like to take care of my kids and do not prefer a baby sitter. When my kids grow up and are all in school I will find the time. But baby sitter is a no no for me. I cannot handle that. I am too connected to my kids. I get that. Maybe you could have your kids paint with you. Make it a family experience.
