What a terrific Saturday we had as a family! We decided to take a bike ride together from a park in Springfield, all the way out to Eugene and back. Eugene and Springfield are equipped with some of the most amazing bike trails. You can get just about anywhere using these trails. The ones we took today were far away from any traffic, along parts of the river that one would never see from a car. This picture is of the kids before we started our ride.
We made it 5 miles before we ran in to Valley River Center in Eugene. We decided to lock up our bikes and go inside to eat some lunch. Casey, feeling generous, also bought the girls ice cream!
About a mile from the mall is Skinner's Butte park. (the bike trail leaves the mall and goes right past this park.) We let the kids play for a few minutes before continuing.
Another mile down the trail sent us right past EWEB. Thankfully (since it was 90 degrees) there was a fountain that the girls rode their bikes through. Not getting wet enough, they got off of their bikes and thoroughly soaked themselves.
Because it was such a warm day, the wetness gave them an extra boost of energy to finish the path. At the end, we rode 10 miles today! It was so much fun that we repeated the trail on Monday night for FHE. This time, we rode 12 miles! Way to go girls!
I'm a bit behind but here is my project 365 for not this week but last.
