riverside bike rides

Matt is always on the go.  Always.  He wears many hats, juggles many roles, leads many leaders, and loves his family so very well :)

Saturday afternoon he lead a super-duper bike ride along the river.  I love these pictures.  This is the world my kids are growing up in - urban urban urban!

We had Luke on the back of my (borrowed) bike and John Paul on the back of Matt's. [John Paul is technically a bike rider but he's not really into it, rarely wants to ride, and is not ready for this kind of adventure!  Everyone's blood pressure is lower when he's safely strapped on the back of Matt's bike!]

With the littlest two off the ground we can really cover some serious territory.  It's so fun!  We were running a bit late and only had a brief moment to stop and rest, but this bridge was irresistible.  We crossed four or five bridges and next time we'll maybe even picnic on this one.  So much to see :)

Isaac is a bit of a study in contrasts.  He is chill, laid back, calm, easily content.  But there is a very intense part of his personality too.  It really comes out on the soccer field, or when he straps on his roller blades, or when he's climbing the bridge supports :)

We biked home, and declared it a big success.  Hopefully we will do this exact same ride next weekend!
