Family Bike Ride






Saturday, August 29, was a pretty busy day. Shane got up early to go to the Leading Mans Breakfast at the church and after breakfast the kids and I headed out to the garage to do some major cleaning and organizing. The kids spent 5 1/2 hours doing crafts, riding bikes, drawing with chalk and eating pizza. They sure were troopers. We got alot done and hopefully will get the finishing touches done this weekend.
After naps, we ran a few errands then went to a local park for a long bike ride. It was pretty cool. You start at one playground and follow the trail to 3 more spread out playgrounds. It made the bike ride a little more easier for Hailey. It was a nice little break in between. The kids enjoyed getting to stop at all the parks along the way to play. Over the past month, we have discovered that Hailey needs a new bike. Hers is either a piece of junk, or it has been messed up by the way we hang it in the garage. The pedals fall off, the training wheels are all messed up and the wheels wobble. (And we have tightened them a million times- it just doesn't fix it) Hmmm, maybe that is why she complains when she is riding. ;) Maybe it really is hard!
We had a great ride and the kids were asking when we could do it again before we even got into the car. Yeah! We finally got them interested in a little exercise.
