Bike riding!

Since living in Midland I've wanted to take advantage of the great rail trail and go bike riding with the kids.  Up until this year, they've been a little too young; but this year I thought I'd give it a try! We loaded our bikes into the back of Daddy's truck and stopped at McDonald's before heading to the Tridge.

Nothing like starting out the bike ride with hotcakes from McDs!

Of course, we had to take a break at a playground we passed. Asher looks a bit tired, no?

We made it all the way to the Chippewa Nature Center! Taking a break for fruit snacks and iced tea. 

I was a little skeptical at first as to how long we would make it, but the kids did GREAT. We rode a total of 11 miles that first day and have made even longer rides since then.  Asher fell a couple times, mostly because we needed a bigger bike for him, which we've done. We love cycling together, and hope to do a lot more of it in the future!
