Welcome summer!

An 8.8 mile bike ride?
With a 5 year old?
Without training wheels?
On a near 100-degree day?
Really?
 YES!
An 8.8 mile bike ride!
(thanks mapmyrun.com)
With my 5 year old who isn't using training wheels anymore!
And, may we also note that I was pulling the trailer, 
two kids, 
and a load of library books...
That's a credit of nearly 75 lbs.
Where's MY Wha-what?

The ride also included 7 bridges, 
3 parks, 
2 1/2 lakes, 
a library, 
1 mall, 
and innumerable drinking fountains.

And at the end:  1 sleeping kid, and the rest of us wishing we were home by now.
What can I say?  I had to do SOMETHING to break up the monotony of sprinklers and swimming pools all day.
(and he chose the route)

My Goodness! I am impressed with Carter, but I have to say I think I'm more impressed with you. That would have killed me! You're in great shape!
