President's Day Bike Ride

Way back in February we went on a family bike ride along the bike trail (I just found the pictures today).  Rich had the day off for President's Day and we decided to go on a family outing.  We rode about 8 miles round trip.  It was tough for Rich because he was pulling Ava in the bike trailer.  That added weight makes a huge difference.

As we rode we enjoyed watching the river and all the activity.  There were lots of people enjoying the trail and fishermen trying to catch some steelhead.  We also saw lots of birds and squirrels.  It was a beautiful day and perfect for riding bikes.

Along the trail we stopped and had a picnic.  We enjoyed sandwiches, chips, and carrots.  After eating we walked around and look at the river a bit.  We could see some dying salmon out in the middle of the water.

Once we refueled our bodies we hopped back on the bikes and headed home.  It was a great little adventure and one we will repeat again.
