A biking adventure…

Heading out on our bikes, we don’t always know where we are going to go.  We got on our bikes at Water Works Park and headed out.  Danny was the fearless leader with the trailer behind him, Grace following on her bike and then I was bringing up the rear.  At each crossroad, he would say… how about going THIS way?  We just followed him –trying to remember which way we had gone.  Grace did great – no complaining about pedaling!  She nearly talked the whole time – about books, the Bible, the people in our family, the Wild Kratts, biking, animals… whatever!  She just talked and talked.  I told her to be quiet for a few seconds… she needed to conserve her energy!

As we rounded another corner, we found a really nice park to eat lunch at.  We walked to the middle of the soccer fields and unpacked the cooler.  The kids loved running around and eating other.  A few pictures HAD to be taken as well.  As we looked around we thought we were in West Des Moines near our friends house.  After a little texting, we discovered that sure enough, we WERE near their house in a volleyball park.  Cool… you just never know where our biking adventures will take us! We had gone pretty far!

What a great day… I am sure that we will try to do this again a few more times before winter comes!  We ALL LOVE biking!
