Enjoying the little bit of sun

Ah, Spring is here, if only for a moment.

We took advantage of this fleeting moment.

What is up with that anyway.

We hit the trail and the kids had a blast.

I wish I could say the same for me.  

Okay at first it was a lot of fun.

Elsie rode her bike like a champ.

JJ took off and we hardly saw him at all as he rode the whole trail.

Emma rode on ahead, came back, rode ahead, came back.

Ellie and I took a brisk walk.

Seems nice enough.

We saw buffalo,Elk, and the kids thought that was grand.

We even met a hoarse named Liz.

She was funny.

When taking the picture of Elsie she tried to eat her hair.  

Elsie just kept ducking. 

Emma was nervous but finally touched the hoarse.

Ellie just looked.

JJ was still riding on.

But I have a problem!

Ellie CANNOT ride a bike.  She wants to keep up but can't.

By the time we made it about a mile Ellie was done.  

Here is why I didn't enjoy this walk.

It turned into major exercise.

I was walking with 40 pounds on my back,

while helping Elsie on the bike.

She had a moment where she went backwards on a hill.

From that moment on she no longer rode on her own.

We even tried to get Ellie to ride on JJ's pegs.  She wasn't having it.

Then we didn't see JJ again until we got back to the car.

I had to walk a mile bent over with Elsie needing me to push her and Ellie being piggie backed.

FINALLY, Elsie went off on her own on a straight stretch.  BUT, she fell.  I had to hold her the rest of the way as well.  It really makes it hard for me to want to go out and do things.  

It is sad though because I loved, LOVED the first mile.  

So long winded I know, but does ANYONE of you know of a bike that I can ride with Ellie

Jeron and I have searched but nothing. 

She is too BIG for the bike carrier.  

Use your smart noggins and help a sister out.  

Hopefully someone has an answer for me.
