Our Family Day

Can I just start by saying, I LOVE HOLIDAYS!!!!! I love having my husband home from work (and still getting paid :)), I love spending time with my family, I love having days that nothing is planned and in the end feel like you didn't totally waste it, I love being outside, I love having freedom to do as we choose, and I really LOVE having fun.

Yesterday was all of that put together. We had a few chores that needed attending to, but after that was finished, we all got out our bikes and went down to the Jordon River Parkway. That trail is so much fun, we went down there earlier in the summer, but that is the only other time we have been on that trail. It is just like a little peace in the middle of this bustling city.

Here we are at the Millrace Park, Jeff, Ryan, and Sarah rode their bikes along with Bella riding in the trailer, from home to there. I drove Ali and took Bella's and my bike in the car. We knew in advance that Bella would not make it up the hill from the river to our home in the end. That was a very wise move.

We packed a little picnic lunch and rode our bikes south to the park on Winchester (appx. 6800 south)

Ali played on the slide

We all took a little rest in the shade, right by the river.


Then we rode over to the little splash part right by I-215.

Cooled off in the water

After that, we headed back to our car. We had a really fun time and I hardly even broke a sweat. Jeff had the hard part of pulling the bike trailer with Ali inside. That is something we will be doing a lot more of.
