We went with some friends of ours on a mother and kiddo bike ride today. It was Ashley Olsen and her 3 girls, Sadie, London and Allie. Then we had Sabrina Atwood and her 4 kiddos, Gage, Molli, Daxlee and Pippa. Then of course myself and my 3 kiddos. Gideon rode his bike and I pulled the trailer with Arya and Bridger in it. This is Our bike route today. We went 10 1/2 miles total. (even though that 10 1/2 miles took us 4 hours, we took our sweet time...meaning kiddos bike chains unraveling :) ) Wow! For Gideon's first official bike ride that was a long one and me who hasn't gone on a bike ride for like ummmm 10 years. no joke, it has been like 10 years and my first good cardio since surgery. It felt great! :) I LOVED it and plan on doing more of it soon.

Gideon's bike chain kept slipping on the way back like every 5 minutes so after a while of repairs I finally let him ride in the back of the trailer with the bicycle laying on top of the trailer. ha ha!! Yeah, you can just picture it. it was pretty comical....I got smiles from all the passerby's. It sure was a bit of work too. It was fun non the less and I'm glad I did it. It is empowering to accomplish that.....even as little of a feat that it is, it was a big one for me.
I don't have pictures but if my friends send me their pics I will post them here. Good times today were had by all.
