Today we convinced ourselves that we could indeed be a bicycling family. So Elsie and Ezra got strapped into the bike trailer and hooked onto Michael, while Elliot rode his own bike (still with training wheels). About 1/4 mile in we discovered that Ezra was using Elsie as a chew toy. Not good. So we put Elsie in the bike seat behind me, into which her feet almost wouldn't fit anymore, and left Ezra with the entire trailer to himself.We had lunch at the observation tower, from which Michael took the picture of the marsh. It was about 73 degrees - perfect. You see Elliot here with the map, acting as navigator for the family. Of course we had another adjustment when we discovered that Ezra was eating dirt in the bike trailer. He was promoted to bike seat with me - hence the pink helmet. There were lots of roots in the trails, big enough to kick off one of Elliot's training wheels. Not the ideal for our first trail riding day as a family. But we think the kids had fun...

Sounds like an adventure! We got a tag-along for our kids when they could ride with training wheels but couldn't quite keep up or go very far. Helped a ton... for what it's worth.
