My Cheerleader (* UPDATED *)

I have biked to school both with Sam and Katie. With Sam, I bike behind and call out directions. That is how we get safely where we need to go, whether it is to or from School.

With Katie, it's a whole different story. She is in the bike trailer. I have the pleasure of doing most of the work. Well, that brings us to yesterday, when I had both of the girls in the back, and Lilly yelled, "GO, GO, GO, GO...." and that was ALL the way to Katie's school. Katie calls out: "You can do it." This is repeated most of the way. It was interrupted by "I am your biggest cheerleader, Do you like that I am your cheerleader?" What could I say. I told her that I LOVE that she is my cheer leader. They are verbal if they think I go to slow, then they unified call out to me "FASTER, FASTER".



Here we are home after one of our trips. The whole ride one way is 1.9 miles. So with a return trip that means about 3.8 miles. I used the car to measure it. (* UPDATED *)

I have a newfound admiration of Bike taxi's. (* UPDATED *)

Here is the route we take.

Fun Day at Uncle Mike's

Our kids are so very lucky to have a fun Uncle Mike. Every child should be so lucky.

We had a great visit with him and Aunt Kathy on Sunday. We spent the whole day after Church at their house. Here are some of the pictures we took while we were there.


This is not Uncle Mike's tractor, but it is one of those that is in the barn where he lives.


Uncle Mike have a great tree fort and a fun trampoline.




and he have a very fun creek with a bridge. He promised us that we are going to float boats down the creek next time we go to his house.


Here are a couple of pictures we took in barn after playing in the hay.


This big tree fell in a storm not long ago, and so did Lilly as we going to take the picture.

Here is Aunt Kathy's birds. They were sitting so nicely together, like two good friends.
