Beautiful Fall Weather

 We had some beautiful days in fall. As motivation to get school work done, and because I can leave the kids briefly (to go bring the bikes in the van before bringing a load of children) we did a new kind of outing. After all, Evelyn can bike now!

What a beautiful scene it is to ride through brightly colored trees with the sun angling through it.

 You can smell fall and the leaves all go crunching under your tires.

 Evelyn did have trouble keeping up, and felt like quitting a few times...but overall did very well.

 After having gone a couple of times, the older kids brought Matthew's walkie talkies. They left one with me and explored the maze of trails at their own pace while I plugged along with the younger three.

Anyone wanna buy me a hitch for my van and a trailer that can fit seven or eight bikes in easily? (Think of all the trails we could explore if we didn't need to return home for a second load!)
