Daily Bike Rides

Our kids beg every night after dinner if we can go for a bike ride.

Mila begs Jason as soon as he walks in the door from work..."Trailer...Ride"

There was a big orange grove by our house where all the trees had died, so the state finally cleared them out because it was a major fire hazard.  With all the trees gone, lots of people are taking advantage of the dirt roads that ran through the orange groves because it's a nice place to ride bikes away from traffic.  Leah always asks if we can go ride in "Orange Valley".  (Orange Grove/ San Tan Valley)

Jason takes them up and down the hills in the greenbelt as fast as he can and both of the girls just LAUGH and LAUGH.  As soon as Jason stops for a break Mila says, "Again, Again..."

Carter has taken his share of wipe-outs lately.  He tries to do ramps and jumps that are just a little much for him.  Jason has also been trying to teach him how to throw a brody on his bike...so that's been even more scrapes and scratches.

One night Carter asked if he could try the hills in the trailer, and Jason gave in...

I can't even imagine doing those hills without pulling ANY kids, but Carter...100 pounds???  He's crazy!

Carter LOVED it!!

Then we tried Mila's car on the hills. 

She wasn't very willing to share...

We want to get a summer sled if anyone knows where to find one... Until then, Mila's car will have to do.
