Pigs and Bike Trails


    After soccer games on Saturday morning, we headed out to the Power of the Past in hopes of doing the Tractor Pedal Pull (that Joe got his trophy at last year) and other games.
    Due to conflicting info on the schedule, we missed the Tractor Pedal Pull, but got to do the washer hunt for money and the pig chase.  The video of Joe chasing the pig to get it in the bag should help you grasp the concept of the fun they had! :)


    Sunday was beautiful.  So, we headed to a state park in Indy for some biking and family time.  It was an awesome park with some great riding trails.  We did a paved trail in the morning around the pond/lake areas (with some pretty good hills in it that didn't seem to phase the boys!).  There was an area with hundreds of walnut trees that had about 6-8 inch trunks...the sunlight piercing through...with blue sky showing...and yellow and purple wildflowers beneath the trees. Very picturesque.
   After lunch, we headed out on a 3 mile dirt trail through the woods.  It was SO fun...although intense and scary with the steep drops off the path.  Joe fell down the side one time...but he hopped up and got back on his bike.  We enjoyed the ups and downs of the trails...the partial sunlight through the trees with blue sky showing through...and all the shades of green that shown through. And we all finished with smiles on our faces, high fives, tired legs, and all our body parts!  Fun stuff!!!
