Two streets away from our house…..
…lies a paved adventure.
Chipmunks cross. Birds chirp. There are flowers and trees and barns.
We ride through the forest. We ride through open fields.
We run from lions. We ride away from tigers. We do bike ballet.It’s where the Great Tragedy of 2008 took place.

(We still check EveryTIME we go! =)
Occasionally we will meet someone along the way…..for the most part, the path is ours and ours alone.
The path goes on for miles and miles and miles….concrete now covers old railroad tracks.
Our town was one of the stops many years ago.
Sophia learned how to ride a two wheeler this past weekend.
The training wheels came off…and she was off too. On her first try. We were so proud. =)
Happy Wednesday.

i love this paved adventure route of yours. we enjoy biking. we… as in everyone but sarah lately.
poor poor sophia. pink binkyless. she looks so very little. i didn’t know you all back then!
and my what story teller she is. i’m telling ya—those homeschooled kids… she sounds like a lil liz!
and that cool picture video thingy, how DID you Do that? funFUN!
I’m so glad that Sophia was able to replace her trauma (lost pink binky) with a happy memory (two wheels)! Way to go Sophia!
( 8 I love the idea of a baby fish being happy to get the pink binky. I’m glad Sophia seems to have adjusted to her loss and can now ride her bike without the training wheels! She probably feels a sense of freedom! Like Cindy…how DID you do that moving picture?
Congrats to Sophia!!!
When we lived in Northern Ohio we enjoyed miles and miles of a trail that was laid on the old railroad lines…your post makes me miss it!
Yeah for the independence that comes with 2 wheels:)
Happy Wednesday~
such a relaxing place
we have a path much like that 20min from our house, we go quite a few times during the summer. good times!!
Sophia is really speeding for a newbie!
bet she is so proud, wonderful to see how grownup they feel with their accomplishments! enjoy your beautiful week! the weather is perfect here……so maybe there too. 
that bike trail looks like so much FUN!!
Good to see you back again!
I love trails like that! It seems like the north has quite a few lovely places like that. What a great family thing to do together!
