Bikers

We bought a bike for me several weeks ago, and Shawn happened to find the most beautiful, serene bike trail that we have gone to twice now.  I imagine we will make many more trips.  Shawn commented that I really need a helmet cam to truly record the beauty in this 5-6 mile bike ride.  We start our rides with a picnic beside a small lake outside of the Lakehouse Cafe.  Then we get on the trail there and circle around Creve Coeur Lake.  The scenery changes so much.  There is a waterfall, twists in the road, an island feel, a marsh-type feel, men riding past in rickshaws, canoes to rent, beach volleyball, bridges to ride under, and so on.  I simply love it! Dylan and Abigail ride in the trailer behind Shawn’s bike and point out all the dogs they pass.  They cheer for Shawn as he and I race Cody and Anna to the finish line (our cars).  While Shawn loads the bikes back onto the bike rack, the kids play tag.  As I watch, I think in my heart, “We are living our ‘happily ever after.'”  I LOVE my family!
