Bike Riding

You always hear it said that once you know how to ride a bike, you never forget how even if it has been a long time. Well, I think it must be true because I am fairly certain I hadn't ridden on a bike since I was a teenager, but while we were visiting my family we decided to ride bikes along the Sacramento River Trail and luckily, it came back to me. We had a lot of fun. The kids rode in trailers pulled by Chris and my Dad and they weren't so sure about having to ride in trailers, but we let them get out and play at the park right by the river so that made up for it.

Cameron fell asleep on Steven in the trailer, and that was the only part of the ride he didn't scream. When we stopped at the park we called my mom and had her come pick him up in the car and take him home so we could finish our ride in peace. All the cousins by the river.A terrible family picture by the river. This is really close to where Chris and I took our engagement photos so I thought it would be fun to snap a quick family photo here. Since Chris and I were both wearing out bike attire and the kiddos wouldn't look at the camera, and we stupidly sat behind a bunch of reeds, it didn't turn out so well. Oh well, nice thought.




Swinging at the park. Thanks Dad and Uncle Adam for pushing us for such a LONG time.

Every summer I plan to take my kids on a bike ride, but still have yet to do it. :) glad you guys had such a fun time, and I was cracking up reading what you wrote about taking the family picture!
