Stake Bike Ride

Saturday, May 25

Our stake sponsored a family bike ride this year.  When we got the flier about it on Sunday, Blondie was all excited about it and really pushing for the family to go.  Unfortunately we have a couple of holdups from the whole family attending - i.e. I don't own a bike and Kitty hasn't learned to ride yet.  So we finally decided that since there were no soccer games with it being Memorial Weekend, DH would go and take M&M, Luke and Blondie with him.  They rode from our home to the meeting place at our old stake center and then they rode with the other people that showed up through some back roads to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and then back again.

DH said that the kids all did well although he was a little nervous about how competent a rider Blondie was and if she would be able to handle the whole ride or not.  They all survived though and had a good time.  Blondie keeps asking if they can do it again.

Kitty was a little upset that she couldn't go as well so I spent the morning with her helping her learn to ride a 2-wheeler.  She didn't quite get the hang of it completely on Saturday, but by Tuesday she had taught herself how to ride and was going around the block by herself!
