On Saturday we went on our first family bike ride.
We made it 5 miles around a local lake. Claire's helmet kept slipping over her eyes which was the only thing that kept up from making a second round.
We're going to keep biking because next year Claire and I are going on a girls ride with Auntie Frances.
In the past Auntie Frances and I have ridden the Little Red Riding Hood (which is totally awesome) but 100 miles with the trailer or a baby in the bike seat is probably not happening.
Regardless, we'll be doing a bike ride with the ladies because we believe in being active and doing hard things for our bodies and brains. I think it's a lesson you can't learn too early.
That's really cool! I'm not a biker, but I love to walk with my kids. (It's a lot harder with three than it used to be. And so weather dependent. Spring, would you please actually get here?)
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I had to zoom in on the picture of you and claire to see your cute fun-buns sticking out of your helmet!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are inspiring with all your activeness!
Love it Sallee. I am so glad you have used the trailer and this is definitly one of the times where I wished we lived closer so that Alexia and I could join your gals biking adventure or that our two families could go together BTW -- Jacob's helmet always fell over his eyes too when young and I too am a firm believer in learning to be active early . . .
ReplyDeleteI love that you are doing this. You inspire me to be more active even when that feels pretty much impossible, (Not because Im so active that I couldnt be more so, but because Im lazy, or have a thyroid problem).
ReplyDeleteWhat a great example you are to Claire. And me.
