Looky Looky

Hey Kids! Look what I forgot to post! It's a little late, but here is what we did after IHOP on New Year's Day......

Pie went on a bike ride, crashed, got muddy, and asked me to photo document the result. In case you are unaware, crashes are manly and muddy crashes are manlier still.

Judging by that self-satisfied grin on Pie's face....clearly he's not worried about the laundry implications.

So Pie's ride was earlier in the day. But later in the day, we decided to walk up to Highland Point. The kids took their bikes.

Jon, just cooling it on the fence post while everyone is getting ready to ride.

Tommy, on his bike in the dirt parking lot. The bike stayed in the car for the walk, because he wasn't quite ready to ride the whole thing.

Sid, looking like Darth Maul.

And off we go! I was a bit shouty and high strung at the beginning. I'll admit that. This was the first time the big kids have been up on this trail on bikes, and you know what? My kids are completely ignorant about basic trail etiquette. Thus all the shouting. They will get better at it, right? Right??

Run, Forrest! Run!

Getting Dad in a choke hold.

Not the best picture, but those are the Rocky Mountains.

And then panning to the right, Denver.

And then pulling in a bit, our trail-dusty children. It was a pretty nice day to go for a walk/ride. Thanks for dragging us all out there, Dad.
