Biking to School

The weather here has been so beautiful and so crisp and clear in the mornings that the kids and I have decided to start biking to school every other day or so. It's a good 1 1/2 miles one way and we have to cross a 1/2 mile long overpass that has train tracks underneath. So every day is kind of a bit much.

After the first morning of walking our bikes up the one side of the overpass, I promised Phoenix when he could make it up both sides with out stopping to walk we could all go out for ice cream. Low and behold on the way home from school that very day, he made it up the overpass. And the very next morning, he made it up the other side. So day #2 of bike riding we went out for ice cream. :)
Sicily gets the best end of the deal. The trailer is all hers on the way there, she brings her baby, of course, and a couple of books and juice. But this particular ride home got a little crowded with London's, literally, 25 lb backpack. It's a bit ridiculous.
