On Labor Day we went as a family on a 20 mile bike ride. It was a fantastic day. The weather was beautiful, and the ride was amazing. All the kids did great. Daniel did get to ride in the bike trailer. Rick got to pull him : ). We went on the Rock Island Trail, and because of the new portion of the trail, we were able to leave from our house on our bikes. We rode 10 miles out, to Dunlap, and rode back. Before we left we picked up Subway sandwiches for our picnic lunch. Don't ask me what Dallin's doing in the picnic picture. He's just being Dallin, that's all.
This picture is in front of the tunnel that goes under Route 6 on our way back home. We almost lost the lens cap as a result of this picture. We put the camera on the top of a pole, or stump (I can't remember), and when we picked it up, we left the lens cap. After going for awhile (at least a mile, probably close to 2), we realized it. I rode back to see if I could find it, and I did!! What a blessing!

I can't wait to do bike rides like this with our family! I love bike rides...
I didn't know about the new portion of the trail. How awesome that you can access it from your house now!
This post makes me smile :-) Glad you guys took the opportunity and went! A plus for living in Peoria! (and so close to the trail!)
Mrs. Mike, this has little to do with Charity, but have you read the book "Mrs. Mike"? A great read!
