It's been a while since I've "blogged" so I thought I'd update tonight. Summer is flying by so quickly...where does the time go? We had a wonderful July 4th, as a family. KateLynne's boyfriend, Dakota came over...he's such an awesome kid! We then all went to the fireworks at the York Fair. The were awesome this year, especially the finale. It was a great day!
Since moving to our new home, Bill and I have wanted to buy bikes for us and KateLynne, Brady has one, so that we can all ride the Rail Trail, for exercise and because it's a great way to do something together as a family. Well, Bill and I got our bikes on Friday; KateLynne didn't get hers yet. Brady and I went on "the trail" Friday evening for a total of two miles, and let me tell you, I Quickly realized I am out of shape!! Boy oh boy did I "Feel The Burn"!! I was a good feeling not only because I know I'm doing a good thing for my body but also, and maybe even mostly, because it was a bonding time with my son! Last night we biked a total of four miles, stopped to take some pictures and sat on the one bench taking in the sights and smells and enjoying the peacefulness. I still felt "the burn" last night, but just one day made a difference. The "burn" wasn't quite as bad nor did I feel as whipped by a simple task of riding bike as I did the night before; it felt good! We even detoured off the trail to hit Rutter's to get some much needed water...from now on, I'll be sure to take some with us. We even got caught in the rain which made the experience even more enjoying not to mention the fact that the rain felt great!
I'm not riding tonight because my riding partner is at grandma and grandpa's for the night, and I haven't convinced KateLynne to let us get her a bike so she can join in on the fun. Also, Bill's knee is bothering him so he is out of commission, for right now. He is upset that he hasn't been able to ride with me yet. Maybe tomorrow??...I hope!
