Two weeks later...

..here is my post about the 4th of July.

Not far from our home is the Little Miami Bike Trail.  We have heard that it is about 75 miles long and runs along the river where railroad tracks once were.  We snagged one of the teenagers from church to sit with Rylee and took the other four down for a family bike ride.




 We had been down there before, but hadn't ever made it to Loveland where there was rumored to be a snow cone stand.  Sarah was a newbie at the two-wheeler thing but she did a great job.

It ended up being about 4 miles from where we parked to Loveland and sadly the snow cone stand wasn't open yet.  It was only about 10:30 in the morning.  So we rode the four miles back to the car and stopped for an icee on the way home.  It was a great way to start the day.

We also spent the afternoon at my brother's home for good food, a sometimes not so friendly game of kickball and some fireworks.  His neighbor must have spent a truckload of money because it was an impressive show, but you'll have to use your imagination for this part because I forgot to take pictures!

What a fun little adventure! It's way to hot here for even a 4 minute bike ride! I'm looking forward to the fallish weather for fun family bike rides.

I seriously can't even believe Rylee is 14! I remember when she was born! Crazy!
