Saturday Ride

My brother and his wife are on an Anniversary trip to Napa Valley which means that my parents have their two sweet girls at their house. My two were invited over for a day of play in the sun with their cousins. Which meant that we had the day to ourselves, again, how did we get so lucky?

We started with a long bike ride through a few of the hundreds of trails that weave themselves through our rural wooded part of the state. My husband bikes frequently and he much prefers the hard-core trail rides, but he agreed to accommodate me and stayed on the low-key paths.

He was my guide and took us on trails I have never been and it was gorgeous! Going over bridges with beautiful rivers below, and through the woods with the sun streaking through the trees, and through our local park where there was a Kids Carnival in progress, and we passed our lake both ways. What a neat adventure with out ever using our car to get anywhere. Some day our kids will be able to do the trek and that will be so fun.For the record, our kiddie pool is actually 8 feet across and just over 3 feet deep, so it isn't really a dinky little thing. It takes up a good portion of our upper tiered patio. It was calling our name when we got off our bike ride. Awww ~ I could have fallen asleep.

But now we are cleaned up and headed out to dinner at a local golf course that has good food and outdoor seating. Then we will retrieve our children.
