Bikes and parks

This morning we finally got out of the gate and went to a park near Darby's soccer field that also has a trail. We rode bikes for at least two miles before the kids got tired, but there were many stops along the way, so that took some time. Everybody got tired and hungry, so we loaded the bikes back onto the VUE and got some lunch, making it back to Darby's field just in time for soccer warm-ups.

The soccer game was pretty good. Darby got worn out pretty quick, but I still think it was from all the running around on the field, not the two mile bike ride before the game. Darby did a pretty good job before she got tired, making a really good run-from-the-other-side-of-the-field goal. We thought she also made a goal for the other team (since she was going the wrong way at the time), but she insists she was trying to stop the ball from going in the goal.

After the game, the girls wanted to play at a park we passed while riding this morning, so we did that for 45 minutes and then they wanted to ride bikes again. So we offloaded the bikes and ventured down a different part of the trail we earlier explored. We went at least another mile and a half before coming upon another part, at which they wanted to play. So we parked the bikes and I let them play at that park for another 45 minutes or so, and then we got back on the bikes and rode back to the VUE.

We have since come home VERY tired, and I think we're all getting hungry for dinner, but Darby is begging for ice cream since she got a goal today, so we may have to head back out for food and treats.

I have a feeling I'm going to sleep real good tonight. Ugh, and the kids are going to 8:45am mass in the morning, so so much for sleeping in.
