Bikes & Swimming

Today was a blast!!!

A few (and by a few I mean like 30) of us from church do a morning bike ride. The trip totals about 4 miles and it’s a ton of fun, hills and all! Ethen and I first did this about a week and a half ago (before Ethen’s new bike) and it was a NIGHTMARE! The constant wining and crying – my patience level was certainly tested. So when I woke Ethen up this morning for our trip I was MENTALLY PREPARED for the journey. Well I was pleasantly surprised – shocked really! HE LEFT ME!!! Once we got with the other kids on the ride, he wanted to stay with them – and was doing very well at keeping up. I was so proud of him! Here are some pics of our adventures!DSCF3297

New bike – think we are going to try to take the training wheels off!

Our “little” group – today was 26 kids and 4 adults! Fun!

Ok… Ethen is becoming a little daredevil all ready! I see lots of cuts and scrapes in our future! Yes, he is riding his bike off the curb!

After all is done we head back to Rachel Terry’s house for and Otter Pop! Ethen’s favorite part!

After the bike ride we had just enough time to ride back home (about 3 blocks), change into swimsuits and get to the pool for swim lessons! Ethen is doing AMAZING!!! I’m SO impressed with this kid! Check it out!

So what does a 4 mile bike ride + 1 hour swim lessons equal?

  1. What an awesome kid! I swear every time we get into the car to go somewhere Gavin always asks if we are going to Ethan's house. That bike ride is a fun idea!
