Riding bikes

Early in the Spring, we bought bikes.  We live about 10 minutes from the airport in a car.  There are great biking trails everywhere, including one that goes to the airport.  A couple months ago, the three of us spent a couple hours biking around and watched planes land.

My kids hate being strapped down to anything, so there's usually crying and fussing even with abundant snacks.  But I'm hoping that the more we ride, the more enjoyable the rides will be for all of us.  For now, I try to keep bike rides under an hour.

I'm really enjoying the bikes.  Bryce made fun of me when we were trying out bikes at the store because I was so unnatural and awkward on the bike.  The last bike I owned was hot pink with streamers coming out of the handle bars.

He HATES his helmet.  She does fine if she's in the seat on the back of my bike. 

A few weeks ago, we rode about 5 miles to Eglisau on the river.  It was gorgeous.  The ride there was actually very pleasant.  The ride back was quite stressful (about 5pm, everyone hungry and tired, not ideal).

We hung out by the river for a couple hours, played in the water, fed the ducks, ate more snacks, people watched, and then rode back home.
