Can't Go Wrong!

What could be more perfect than a beautiful sunset, nice bike ride through the woods and Ice cream in the end...??? Not a thing!
Tonight we put the bikes in the car and drove to High Cliff State Park. I was hoping to make it up with out walking but I got 10% of the way and Reece says "Mom, Stop and walk I can't make it."
Grrrr.
I had my clunky old bike with our tagalong for Zebbie on the back of my bike and I was further up the hill then he was! Needless to say I stopped and promptly told him I don't need to stop just because he was. I was hoping to make it as far up as I could but I had to stop because he wanted me to. Shortly after he hops on his bike and rides 20 ft and waits for me, and rides 20 ft and waits... you see a pattern? I had to get off for him? There was no way I was going to hop back on the bike right on the hill. Zeb had it the easiest. He just rode right up.
We meander through the state park, riding fast to throw off the mosquitos. I have no idea how the campers are doing it. Those bugs were AWFUL! We stopped to check out some indian burial mounds on the property and they sucked at least one ounce while I was there!
It didn't take long for me to get back on the bike and take off. After 3.6 miles of trails we stopped at the 'tower". It is a looking tower that is 2 levels high. We got there ran up to the top to check out the view and ran down just as quick cause Zebbie had to use the little boys room.
I was so suprised, Reece was more tired than Brock. I wanted, more than once, to tell him to stop talking but I could hardly breathe myself! (thanks to allergies and some crappie cough I have)
Grrrr..
I so want to get Brock to do a mini triathalon sometime.
I must say the park has an excellent room for a gathering... It has a GIANT fire place in the center and thick wood beams for the ceiling and roof, accented with rounded stones. It just stinks that if you would use it for a gathering everyone would have to pay to enter the park.
After the break we got to do the fun part of the ride and went back down hill. I got to 27 miles per hour but had to slow down per request of my passenger.
After putting the bikes back in the car we had ice cream from a local Ice cream shop that reminds me of our old DQ that we had when I was growing up. It was a tiny shop with small parking area, but they are quick and get you out fast! (Actually faster than DQ)
After pulling out all of the bikes together from the car since the peddle of some were stuck together we came inside and Zeb curled up on the couch and he was out fast! The older ones were still wide awake and ran in the basement, after all, it is almost summer break and they need to practice staying up late....
