Bike Rides, The Fair

We tried out part of the river trail bike path this morning and I loved it! There are over 50 miles of paved bike trails here and we only road on 5 miles of it. I'm so excited to explore the rest. We saw a few of the falls, deer, and even a bald eagle. We learned we were in black bear and grizzly bear country, but luckily we didn't see any of them! Kade is getting strong legs. He's going faster and he hardly ever stops on the big hills. I'm proud of him!

This afternoon we took the kids to the fair. It was fun to see the animals and a few shows. Then we had the kids do a tractor pull. They had to pull the tractor to 25 feet to move onto the next round and depending on their age they had weight added to make it harder as well. Kade and Tenley were 6 of 15 kids to make it past the first round where they had even more weight added to their trailer to see if they could still pull it to 25 ft. Tenley was the only one to pass that round! She went from 50 pounds of weight to 100 pounds and she still made it! Then she got to do it a 3rd time with 150 pounds of weight and she made it to 16 feet! I was so impressed! She is my tough girl!

I love fun family days like today. We needed it after this crazy week!
