Bike Trail Fun!
One of my favorite things to do growing up was to go bike riding around Lake Tahoe. Ever since I had kids this was something I looked forward to doing with them. We found a trail near our house, that is paved and flat and perfect for our boys who are learning to ride their bikes.
Of course we had to venture off the path into the creek on the side of the trail, and throw some rocks.
Blue had to try to ride through it, and eventually went swimming in. Which I was fine with after all this recent rain, until I saw the leeches in the creek as we were leaving….
Aiden loved riding his newly “pimped out” bike (nice way of saying fixed up hand me down) with new training wheels, and handles. After a few tip overs, he got the hang of it and was cruising ahead of everyone else.
We had a picnic lunch, and rode and walked for hours.
It was such a wonderful day, and I hope to go back often this summer!

I love the bike trail around Lake Tahoe.
Your trail looks really nice, too!
Throw some rocks? Of COURSE!

This does sound like a wonderful day Kristin! We used to do family bike rides when I was a kid.
