Family Resolutions

I'm not one for new-year resolutions, and I wouldn't really consider this as one. It just happens that we began something on New Years Day that is a family resolution; something that Landon has been aching to do as a family. Landon finally found and purchased a mountain bike for me that we couldn't pass up, and we began our inaugural family mountain biking excursion at about 11:00 on Tuesday, January 1, 2008. It was a short ride, we were only out for an hour, but we all had fun. Ella rode in her backpack (which really is a backpack) with her daddy. This is something that we didn't intend to do, but as it turns out, we need a special attachment for the bike trailer to mount it to our bikes. And because it was New Years Day, we couldn't find a bike shop open to purchase the part. Ella, however, loved the birds-eye view of everything. There were little waterfalls and streams everywhere. She kept calling out, "Water!" "Beautiful!" "Birdies!" "Oooo!" We are all excited to get out again.

How fun! Tory is definitely jealous. I wonder if Ella is going to be okay riding in the trailor after seeing the view from the backpack.
