Family Bike Ride

After 2 hours of trying to get out the door we finally made it out to the bike trail. I admit I was pretty grumpy leaving the house. I mean 2 hours after we decided we shall go biking - I wasn't so patient anymore. Papa had to figure out how to get the bike rack on the car, we had to go and pick up a friend's bike so Sophia could ride with us on the attached child seat, the girls all had to have a peanut and honey sandwich because now they are hungry, they have to go potty once again, etc.. etc... BUT...it was so worth it. The girls did GREAT riding on the pathway. Papa and Rachel raced ahead and I hung back a little with Alex while she admired the butterflies, the cows in the field, the pretty red plane that flew overhead. She kept giggling everytime she went over a pothole. She freaked me out when she let go of one handle bar and the bike started to wiggle violently side to side. When I asked her why she let go of one of the handle bars she said that she had an itch on her leg that she was trying to reach. haha. Anyhow it was super fun and we are going to go out often now that we can all go together as a family. We rode for 1/2 an hour. Hopefully next time, we can decrease the time it takes us to leave the house and increase the actual riding time.
