I made the goal this year to try to get Lia comfortable on her bike during the warm, summer months when we can be outside. However, with all of our travels, this hasn't been the easiest thing...but we did manage to go on a couple family bike rides through our neighborhood down to Lia's new school which helped her to improve drastically from last year. After last night's ride, I decided that she was good enough to try out the Orting Bike Trail. Luckily she was up for the challenge today and off we went! Lia rode for a good half hour or so in hot weather before declaring that she was done. Her face was red and covered in sweat at the end! I was so proud of her. Anticipating that this would happen, Ron had the brilliant idea to bring some rope with us which allowed me to pull her back to the car on the return leg. Overall, it was a successful outing, although we didn't get anywhere close to the end of the bike trail. We still decided to treat ourselves to ice cream at the McDonald's in Orting since we thought that Lia had earned it anyways. Maybe next summer we can get her farther down the trail...

This was the hilarious pose that we found Logan in after returning to the parking lot. This kid just cracks me up!
