Mountain Biking

Our first mountain bike ride of the summer. ( I know its mid August and some might say the summer is nearly over but I'm being "half is glass full" and looking at it as a first of many rides)
We found a BEAUTIFUL trail around a lake. A friend told us about it and how its the perfect ride. They just failed to mention that its a VERY narrow trail. Not the perfect trail for pulling a trailer with two boys. Dewey had a workout and a half trying to pull them up hills through shrub.

We stopped about half way around the lake to cool off and enjoy the scenery.


The boys ended up stripping down to "birthday suits" to enjoy the water. The water was nice and cool and almost crystal clear. So fun to play and slash around in.



Dewey and I are thinking we might try to have a date day and try the ride ourselves. But then if we don't make it the whole way we won't have an excuse ;)
Have a great week all!!!!

Dewey, you are hard core, that definately looks like a workout for sure. Marsh and I just went for a ride together last Friday and decided that we need to do that more often - drop the kids off at Grandmas. :) Love the new look of your blog!

You always do lots of great family things together in the outdoors which is wonderful.

Thanks for sharing,
