on the trail

Summer is off to a weird start for us. Mike has had mandatory overtime almost every Saturday, plus we've had soccer (and now baseball!) practices and games to work into the schedule. It's been pretty busy. There is always a ton of stuff to do around the house too, but sometimes, it's best to just take the boys and run off some of their energy. So this afternoon when Mike headed off to the salt mines, the boys and I set off for the Greenway Trail. It was Henry's first really long ride, and he handled it like a total champ -- except at the end, when he was tired and thirsty. I honestly didn't think he would last very long, so we didn't take any water or anything. Whoooops. We made a couple of stops along the way to check out the river, ran into a traffic jam of sorts, climbed a big hill (well, not me, but somebody had to stay at the bottom to take the picture!) crossed many bridges, stopped at a playground, and 90 minutes later were back home guzzling ice water. Now to fill the rest of the evening...
