7 Miler with the Kids

Last night, Amber, Michelle and I watched National Treasure 2 - The Book of Secrets. It was pretty great. The movie needed to be returned today, so after a bunch of chores and work in the yard, Aylee, Johnathan, and I hopped on our bikes and made the seven mile round trip to the nearby Macey's Grocery store to return the DVD.



The bike ride went very well. I think it is the farthest that I have taken either one of the kids (though Aylee may have gone farther with someone else - not sure). Johnathan's seat is going to need to be raised some more - that kid just keeps growing. We made the trip in a half an hour each way. I was worried how the kids would do in the narrow tunnels underneath bridges and freeways, but they did remarkably well. They are setting themselves up for some more biking adventures if they keep this up.



Once at Macey's Grocery store, we went to the deli and ordered small ice cream cones. The cones were massive for a 51 cent small order, but they were good. We sat for about 20 minutes licking our ice cream and chatting.

It sure was a fun way to return our rented DVD.
