Bike Ride

The weather was beautiful so Saturday afternoon we loaded up all the bikes, packed a picnic dinner, and headed out to our favorite trail. We had to make a slight change of plans when we found the trail closed due to beaver damage. After a little more driving we had our bikes off and were ready for some action.

Abigail was so excited to ride in the bike trailer. Emersynne wasn't sure what to make of the whole thing. She wasn't happy, but she did tolerate it. Hopefully she will get used to it more since it is an activity that everybody really enjoys.



Jeremiah pulled the bike trailer with Abigail and Emersynne in it and I had Natalie hooked on the back of my bike. Trevor was a trooper and rode his bike with training wheels the whole way. There were some pretty big hills but with a little help from daddy Trevor made it up those as well. Michaela and Anthony took the lead on the trail and would often double back to meet us when they got tired of waiting.

We stopped half-way, ate our gourmet dinner of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and then headed back home. We raced some pretty dark rain clouds back home and made it back without getting wet. The kids had so much fun and keep asking when we can go again.
