A Family Bike Ride

This is the post where I put in writing and admit that I set the bar too high.  We had a beautiful spring day and I thought we should load the bikes up and take a family bike ride on the local trail.  It is a 10 miles round trip trail.  The first 5 miles, up hill - last 5 miles, just coast and use your brake! So it is a gradual incline up and I actually thought all four of us on our own bikes could make it.  The bike trailer is officially collecting dust.  I kept it because I was sure Auggie would not want to miss cycling with the Paulis, but as it turns out she really doesn't care the buggy ride.  Well we made it 2 miles and the whining and complaining started.  Apparently, I stated many times "just say when you have had enough and we can turn around" and then would promptly turn around and say "we are going to the next corner, come on kids, you can do it!" Brandon finally put the kibosh on it and gave it the round it up motion and we headed back down the hill.  I was a little defeated, but we have all summer to conquer the bike trail!

This is the train at the playground at the bottom - they are all smiles now!
