Moving On Up

... to the bike trails!!!  It was such a beautiful day!

We finished up our "work" this morning in time to do something else & since we've been working hard at biking but are now tired of our parking lot, I thought it would be fun to find a bike trail.  We first stopped off at this playground, also at the park we were trying out.

 Then we hit the trails.  I wasn't totally sure what it would be like, but it was PERFECT!!

We will definitely be going back!!  Its fun to think about entering this new season of being able to really ride bikes!!

By the time my kids learn to ride bikes, 

I'll be able to share all the pros and cons of a balance bike vs traditional bike.  ;)

 We looped around the biggest lake and stopped off at this pier. 

I couldn't stop emailing pics to Mike b/c it was just all so beautiful. 

I tried to get them to do a jumping pic but only Lily would participate.  :(

 Back to the trails... 

I enjoyed it as much as they did!

Then we stopped in at the nature center. :) 

I'd bought pretzels, raisins, and Capri Sun waters the day before (that were still in the van) so we were able to have a make-shift lunch that carried us over into the afternoon.  

It was good for our souls to be in the glory of a sunny fall day :)

The heavens declare the glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1
