So Amanda, a friend of mine, and I thought it would be a good idea to take our girls to a bike trail near Mankato for a few hours of fun and exercise.
Well, it turned out that it was a little fun and a lot of exercise. We had 4 girls: Olivia-6, Halle-5, Rhyan-4, and Gabby-2; 3 bikes; a bike cart; and bike seat. That's a lot of stuff for a few hours of fun!
My girls have been begging me for weeks to get to a bike trail and ride. So, finally today was nice enough - as it turns out however, kids 6 and under don't have the stamina you really need to go too far on the trails. I think we ended up spending more time stopped at various benches and such than we did actually riding our bikes, but it was quality time with the kids.
Surprisingly enough, no one needed to use the potty - but we did end up leaving one of the bikes about 5 minutes into the ride and then picked it up on the way back - Halle's legs were waaaay too tired to ride another minute:) For the most part, the girls did a great job and we will for sure be finding other trails around here to try out. Hoping dad can go with us next time.
