Fun family activity - day 1
We decided to have a family bike ride to the pizza place about 2 miles down the road (note: bike riding offsets the calorie intake of pizza). There, we would bring our pizza to a nearby grassy knoll and bond while the children play, the birds chirp, and life is wonderful. Good idea right?
In theory, yes. Unfortunately realty failed to inform us that Sierra would whine and complain almost non-stop about how her bike was riding crooked and make several attempts to dismount it and give up. We also were not ready for the impact the anticipation of "yummy pizza ahead" would have on Mommy's and Daddy's patience. Thus, the ride there fell somewhat short of our dream of domestic bliss. (Note: Porter and Ella did splendidly)
I don't have a picture of how the ride started, but imagine Mom, Dad, Sierra, and Porter all on our own bikes with Ella in the trailer....
The following pictures show how we all looked after the ride back home. You can deduce what conclusions we came to after our pizza was finished.
Way to go...hauling the three of them plus 2 bikes. I know what you mean about the whining. My boys would do the same.
