White Pine Trail

The kids have a couple days off school this week, so today we headed up to the White Pine Trail with my parents for some bike riding.  Esther had a sleepover at their house last night, so she and Grandpa drove up to Belmont and rode the tag-along from there to Rockford.  Grandma, Peter, Miriam and I drove to Rockford and met them there.  Miriam hopped on the tag-along with Grandpa, and Peter, Esther and I joined them on our bikes to ride a few miles out and back on the trail while Grandma relaxed. 




When we got back we had Corner Bar hog dogs for lunch.  Then Esther rode back to Belmont with Grandpa.  The rest of us walked out on the dam for a few minutes, and then drove to meet them in Belmont.





Checking out a cool spider web!

Finally, Peter rode the last stretch with Grandpa on the tag-along from Belmont down to Riverside Park, where we met them with both vehicles.  At the end of the day, Esther rode 13 miles, Peter rode 10, and Miriam rode 4.  They were very tired tonight!
On the way home, Peter rode with Grandpa and they took a little detour to Van's Pastry Shoppe:


Thanks for a fun day, Grandpa and Grandma!
