~Rails to Trails~

One of my favorite outdoor activities is a good long bike ride!  Gregg called me one morning from work and said he was coming home early to take everyone on a bike ride.  Then he said something about being sorry he was messing up my day☺

Half of me doesn't like my schedule messed with... half of me loves the adventure. 

Adventure won out.  

It was a beautiful day!  I got the kids to quickly finish the "most important" subjects and started packing a lunch.  We parked at a different spot this time.

Kiersten does a great job plodding along!

The older boys ride ahead.  We occasionally we see all their bikes by the side of the trail.  Adventure is out there!  Some trail off the trail called to them.  It normally has something to do with water.

When they finally came back to the trail they were telling me the different things they were able to find... and how many times Nathan fell in the creek!  Anyway, they were describing some strange seed.  Jared knows his mama... he brought a seed back for me♥  Creation just amazes me!

We enjoyed our day out!

Of course, we were all starving when we got back!  We decided to try a new place to eat.  Friends told us about this diner in Lititz.  A great place!  Huge portions and really good food.  We tried burgers, clam strips, crab cakes, cheese steaks, chicken dinner and chicken fingers.  They have a big menu! We can't wait to go back!
