Biking weekend with the boys

This past weekend was a big one! We biked 5.5 miles in Greensboro on some greenways we hadn’t been on before and 18 miles in Winston! A greenway is connected to Salem Lake that is paved and pretty straight–very nice for racing Evan! When we got to Salem Lake we spotted: 70 turtles, 2 blue herons and 4 skinks! We stopped at a super nice water area at the half way point to give everyone time to rest up.

Enjoying break time. I think there is a skink in this picture.

Evan spotted this heron. Nice day for wildlife!

Evan can get quite insulted when we want him to ride behind one of us. Surely he is supposed to always be the leader!

    You really got some great pictures! All that healthy exercise in such a beautiful setting. I love the kids’ concern for little creatures like skinks, too, which aren’t (some of us think) as pretty as butterflies and herons.
