First Family Motorcycle trip of the season...

We went on our first Motorcycling adventure of the season. Mark had found a new trail he wanted us to try out at Rampart Range. It was more of a road and a really nice ride. I have to admit I was a bit shaky at first. I haven't ridden in over a year but by the time we made our way back I was enjoying it.

It was a really scenic ride. We stopped a couple of times and the boys climbed around on the rocks and explored. We stopped at a beaver pond or what used to be a beaver pond. We didn't see any beavers but we saw evidence of them.

The weather couldn't have been any nice and Grandpa came along which doubled the fun!

Summer fun...

We have been staying busy. Mark's birthday was yesterday. We celebrated Sunday night with a spaghetti & meatball dinner. Then yesterday we went motorcycling. Mark taught Caitlyn how to ride. She already kind of knew but he taught her how to shift. She did great. She is a really fast learner. After riding we did a little hiking. Today we went to Pirates Cove for several hours. We are all tired tonight!

Sunday...last official day of Spring Break

We mostly spent the day relaxing and trying to get ready for school Monday. Connor had a science test to study for. He seemed to do well on the review but we will see how the test goes today.

We decided to take a bike ride. We have a trail close to our house. It's called Wildcat Ridge. It leads up to an overlook with an amazing view. You can see all of down town, the mountains and the tech center. It was perfect weather and we had a beautiful clear view. The boys rode their bikes and I actually walked. Connor stopped several times along the way to look at and collect rocks. I had a pocket full by the time we made it to the top. I found an antler which the boys were excited about. (We brought it home, not sure you are really supposed to take things out of the park..shhhhh, don't tell anyone).

Saturday

It's hard to believe Spring Break is almost over. It has gone really fast. The kids will be back in school on Monday and back to our regular routine.

They both had football games this morning. Connor's team (The Seahawks) lost by only 2 points. Connor got to play Quarterback and made a couple of really nice passes. Alex's team (The Panthers) lost by 2 touchdowns I think. They played well but some of the players they played against seemed really big for their age group. That's okay it's good practice.

The "boys" decided to get their motorcycles out for the first time of the season,(Yes, even though Mark has a fractured arm) they rode in the backyard a little. By the time I got my camera out Connor had already finished so I didn't get any pics of him...
