Biking...

In the late fall we finally were able to do a little family biking. We found a bike at a garage sale for Stephen and some friends let us borrow this trailer for the boys. With the bike path just minutes from our house it seems like a great family activity. I would walk with Elsie while Stephen pulled the boys. It was a lot of fun.

Stephen and i try to go out once a month and this date was one of my favorites. It was our first time away from all 3 kids (we asked 2 girls to watch them and were only gone for a few hours). We drove our bikes down to a good access point to the bike path and starting biking the 7 miles to Xenia. On our way we rode by some drag racing at the local speedway and we were completely hooked watching. We quickly rode the rest of the way to Xenia to grab some fast food and brought it back to the drag racing until the sun went down. The last 4 miles were a little eery riding in the dark back to the car (amazing how many bugs there are out at night while riding! We realized why everyone wears sunglasses when they ride!). Definitely a date we hope to repeat come spring!
