We've been waiting awhile to take a family bike ride on the Eastern Trail. This weekend we decided the kids were safe enough on their bikes to make a go of it.
The weather, in a word, was perfect.
All set and ready to go.
The Eastern Trail is a bike/running path that follows, at least on some parts, an old railroad track.
It's a perfect place for the kids to practice riding in places that have a little more traffic or people.
Lovin' it.
We took a break for a snack.
All smiles headed back. In all, the kids rode about 9 miles.
After the ride we stopped for a snack. Donuts + s'mores = awesomeness.
Since the weather was so nice we decided to take a hike around Mackworth Island in the afternoon.
There were a bunch of sailboats out on Casco Bay, including this one that was archored just off the shore of the island.
After a long day of biking and hiking (and some donuts in the morning and ice cream in the afternoon) we went over to the neighbors for a swim. Their dog, a Bouvier, was true to its breeding and tried to herd the kids. It was quite a sight to watch and a fun end to a great day.
