One of our last "free" Sundays for the next few months so we took the family on a bike ride along the Jordan River Parkway. We had a blast. B loves to ride in her cart, and usually sings to M the entire way. Dakota and I ride first so B can catch all the action and laugh at Dakota's big tongue flapping as he runs. Surprisingly, the parkway was not crowded and we nearly had the path all to ourselves. We spent about 2 1/2 hours, stopped several times for water breaks (Dakota's favorite part) and let B play on the playground as well. As we were out I thought to myself, we should do this more often and bring friends along next time. It's close to home, easy to get to, free and FUN! I'll have to admit that it took Dakota and extra hour or two to get cooled off. We went straight home and he made a slow dash for his pool. We set up B's pool and they were both in quicker than I could get it filled up. I thought for sure Dakota would be resting the remainder of the day. I was wrong. He had his ball in his mouth and was ready to play later that evening!!!

Are you crazy? There was no one else on the trail because it was too hot and muggy!! We are glad you had fun though. Maybe we will join you in the fall. :)
How fun!!! You're brave for facing the heat. Yuck! But you're good Mom's!
That sounds like tons of fun. All of it except the exercise part. and the hot part. oh and the 2 1/2 hours part. The resting part and drinking water part sounds like
a-LOT-a-fun. :)
I'm with Kelly...maybe in the fall.
You go girl!! Glad you had fun!
BTW-- You have been tagged for a me-me! It's Holly's fault!
Tagged you for a meme
We love to bike the river trail! Have you ever stopped to see the exotic animals - they are somewhere between 13th south and 33rd - our kids love them.
