Mommy plus Five

My 365...

Today I decided I wanted to try a long bike ride to Eagle Island State Park.  The boys thought it would be fun, so we set out on our longest adventure yet!

I checked Google maps to get the best biking route, and as per Google, total trip length 24 miles.  Cool.

WRONG!

At one point of our journey we hit a dead end with a no trespassing sign.  We had to backtrack 7 extra miles, but it was through some beautiful farm land so we did not mind.

I almost had a head on collision with a mallard that decided to take flight just as I passed him, a deer who decided to jump across the highway just as I passed.  Then on the way home, another dear deer tried to cut me off. LOL :)

We made it though, and the boys had a great time swimming.  Thank goodness I brought a change of clothes.

Blake pooped out on the way home at 22 miles, so we stopped for an apple break, and I tied his bike to mine and gave him a 4 mile tow.  His bike was getting heavier and heaver, and we realized he had a flat tire.  Daddy has everything BUT a bike pump in that pack back of his, so we had to call Garrett and Kori to come rescue Blake.

Jack, Casey and I continued home on our bikes, and made it home just after sunset.  Total trip, 33.34 miles.

It was AWESOME!!

This deer almost ran me over crossing the highway!

Beautiful horse.
