A Sunday fall bike ride

So after we realized that the state of MO (you in AZ are lucky) had all moved to a new time without us today, we tried to think of ways to enjoy our new hour (since we didn't get that hour in extra sleep last night like we normally due this time of the year!). The boys did the usual Sunday Hanson routine, lunch - today from Papa Murphys - and retreated to the bedroom for an afternoon nap. The girls however took a different route - the route to a gorgeous fall bike ride, enjoying the falling leaves, drinking fountain breaks, and some quality girl talk. Ashlyn and I have been wanting to go on a Kearney trail for a long ride ever since she began riding her bike without training wheels. I never noticed how limited she is on our block because of her younger siblings wanting to follow her up and down the sidewalk. She is allowed to go from our house to the corner, which is about 4 houses over and over again. Not so much fun very often. We also had the limitation of me not owning a bike anymore. We sold our bike at a garage sale a couple years ago (actually John's bike) and gave the infant carrier that sat on the back to a friend. So I asked a few friends and family members to borrow one for this big occasion, but many bikes were flat. My mother-in-law let us have an old bike that her neighbor couldn't sell at a garage sale to give to one of the maids at work. It is actually a teenage bike so I looked pretty ridiculous on it! The handlebars were really low and I had the seat raised as high as it could go. The brakes were broken so we had to disconnect them as well (wonder why it wouldn't sell!). So forgive me for not including a picture of us on the trail - it would have been as embarrassing as forgetting to change our clocks today and I could only take one embarrassing thing today. So long story short, we enjoyed the 70 degree weather on a 4 mile ride through many red, yellow, and orange trees this Sunday afternoon. We'll give back the bike tomorrow and pull out our colder air clothes as the weather is quickly changing and remember this fun girl day. What did you do with your extra hour?
