Finally!
The first opportunity for a weekend bike ride with decent weather took an awful long time to get here.
We decided to let Sophie ride all the way around the loop by herself this time. A bit of a gamble considering her first statement after 100 yards of riding was: "I'm never gonna' make it!"
Will rode out ahead a little ways and then paused to let us catch up or turned back around. After a bit, Craig just stayed with him and they both paused every so often for Sophie.
It took a bit of encouraging here and there, but she kept riding.
At this pit stop, Craig spotted a ~5' long snake across the path!!! He made Will wait back a ways and waited till it moved away. Creepy!
Go, baby girl! You can do it! Don't give up!
One more pit stop.
Almost there.
Coming up to the finish line!
YOU DID IT!!! You proved yourself wrong and made it the whole way! Now we've just got to get those training wheels off and get you a bigger bike so you can keep up a little easier.
Will thought it hysterical that he and Craig beat us by a long shot and pretended to be yawning with boredom when we finally arrived. Haha, very funny. But he did give his sister a high five and a "way to go!"
Next up? Hill runs, of course. Can't leave without a few ups and downs on the big sledding hill!
Showing Sophie the picture he took of the snake from our bike ride.
Time to head home for dinner.
These little trips will be some of my favorite outdoor memories.
