Summer Challenge

The kids were still trying to earn their prizes from last year's summer challenge, so they started things off with a bang.  They logged nearly 15 miles in the first few days of summer.  Not only did we ride our bikes on a 6 miles run, but the kids wanted to walk up Pullin' Hill.  The excitement of bike riding wears off rather quick when it starts to get hot and kids start complaining.  It might not last for long, but anytime I can motivate 4 kids to go over 50 miles, that's a huge feat!

 We did a little experiment on one of our rides and counted the number of times each person had to pedal to make it a 1/4 mi.  Ruby was clearly the winner, pedaling 3x as many times as most of us.  And to think, she is always the one with the biggest smile.

 Dalanie was so insistent in walking Pullin' Hill with me, she got to bed early and woke up at 5:40 am to accompany me and my regular walking buddies.
