An afternoon family bike ride.
Now that the weather is nicer and the daylight lasts longer, there is time for us to explore the bike trails. We pedal along the river, listening to the croak of the frogs and watching the flash of the red-wing blackbirds atop the high grasses.
We take time to stop and point out new birds, to watch rabbits cross the path, and admire the onslaught of summer flowers.
We never hurry, except down big hills, but then just for the pure fun of it. Our pace is just as lazy as the summer afternoon.
Go visit Leigh at Leigh vs. Laundry for 52 Weeks of Happiness and post a photo of something that makes you happy.
I love how you and your family remember to stop and smell the roses. Your children are so lucky.
