Warm weather bike ride

So when the weather was warm last week we decided to do a family bike ride.  We got dropped off at Vivian Park and the goal was to ride home.  It's a good distance for all of us who are not seasoned riders, but most of it is downhill so we figured why not?

Grandpa was the mastermind behind the whole trip, so I couldn't not include a picture of him

 Riding down the trail - Logan, Amanda and Scott (I swear Grandpa was with us, but he was usually ahead waiting for us)

 This is my kid screamin' down the trail -- and I don't mean that figuratively.  He literally screamed from Vivian Park to the mouth of the canyon where he fell asleep when we stopped to play at the park.  It was actually his nap time and I insisted we go anyway. (when will I learn?) :)

Logan pulling a face while we're waiting for the rest of the group.  This guy rode his little kiddie bike the entire time.  I was so impressed.  Although, he's so new to riding without training wheels, his wild card riding sent panic through my heart a couple of times.

Look at that healthy, active couple.  Aren't they so cute?

So those are all the pictures of the good part of the ride.  I didn't get any pictures of when I got down by the Riverwoods and I got a flat tire.  So we had to call Jason to come pick us up, but then I switched bikes with grandpa while he waited with the two little boys while Scott, Amanda and I rode home.

By the time that all happened and we got it worked out, we were all ready just to be home.  We'll definitely have to do it again, but the next time, I call no drama or flat tires.
