We have had weeks of rain lately, so when Friday presented us with blue skies, we hauled our bikes over to Gray's Lake for some fresh air and sunshine!
Having learned nothing from our last family + Laney outing, of course she came along too!
I'm sure she enjoyed the view and seeing all of the other dogs along the way. I just wish she didn't express it by barking at them.
But it's hard to resist stuffing her in the backpack when it earns such ooh's and aah's from the kids, especially Adam. He can't resist her cuteness!
Emma got a new bike this spring- with gears!- and was ready to hit the trail. She started out as the leader of the pack.
Daddy and Noah took up the rear. It took a while to remember all that Noah worked so hard on last year, but eventually he took the lead and was so excited to be zipping around the lake.
All that rain brings mushrooms the size of your head! The kids and I have had a running joke for years that they will bring me what they say is a handful of freshly picked flowers, which (almost) always turns out to be a handful of mushrooms that I shriek about and slap out of their hands. It never gets old.
Beautiful picture, very steep drop.
The lake is just over 2 miles round trip, and most of us wanted to go twice (or more!).
We convinced Emma to join us eventually, and when we go to the end of the second loop, we were rewarded with a lit up tunnel that we didn't know was there the first time around!
It was the perfect end to our first biking adventure of the season!
