Mike has enjoyed riding his bike to the light rail in the morning, hopping on for his morning commute into work (which goes to within 1 blk of work) & then he rides his bike all the way home in the evening.
We've gotten in lots of evening bike rides... we are 1 mile from the Green Way trail & then 1 more mile to the downtown lakes.
Melanie takes on the Green Way!
She has been doing lots of biking... she is determined to lose her training wheels this summer & is doing a great job practicing riding fast & balancing!
There are lots of playgrounds around the lakes, so the kids have enjoyed that as well as the swim beaches. It is 6.6 miles round trip, so the kids & I are able to hop on our bikes & go often... Brandon is a great rider (he's already done two 22mi rides this summer) & Melanie is a good passenger in the trailer!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
We celebrated Father's Day with a great walk to the Basilica of St Mary's (about 1.5 miles from our house)...
... meandering through Loring Park & through some great old neighborhoods, including one that Ed lived in over 50 years ago.
Father's Day was also our 9 year anniversary... & we were lucky to get to celebrate on our own (the kids left with Gram & Grandpa to stay on the farm for a week)! We took in a bike ride to the Stone Arch festival where we enjoyed some music & a few beers...
... & then grilled up a nice dinner back at our place.

V- that photo of Brandon on the playground equipment is award worthy. Seriously... Enter it in the State Fair or as a centerpiece for a scrapbook page submission!
