One of our favorite things to do in the warm months is take bike rides on the White Pine Trail into Rockford. Whatever exercise we've done is negated by the ice cream we ALWAYS get at the end of the ride :) We weren't sure how this trip would go with the kids in the bike trailer since Mac is older now. Last summer he had to have about 5 blankets all around him to prop him up since his feet didn't touch the bottom. Now, he's a big boy and fits just fine. We were worried that the kids would fight, but they seemed to have fun together and the fights were few. The key was to keep them well stocked with snacks and juice :)
Our attempt at using the self-timer for a family picture. Not too horrible considering Maguire was cranky because he was hungry.
Checking out the ducks on the pond above the dam.
Maguire loves any pair of sunglasses!
My little climber :)
Both of my monkeys
This was too funny: Kyle had the camera and I told Ashlyn to go stick her tongue out at Daddy. She looked at me funny and then did this. She stuck her THUMB out at him! Once we figured it out she giggled and then stuck her tongue out at him :)
We ate dinner at "Dam Dogs". Kyle had a hot dog with a ton of onions and pickles on it. After he ate it, there was a whole pile of onions/pickles left. Maguire was just shoveling fistfulls of onions/pickles into his mouth. He couldn't get enough! How weird is that?! Especially since I can't stand the thought of crunching into anything that in any way resembles a raw onion. Maybe it was just because that was all the food that was left after we'd all eaten our hot dogs and the kid just loves to eat :)
The end of the trip at Trailside Treats. Kyle and I don't usually order anything because we get enough ice cream licking the drips off of the kids' cones :)

How did you do the collage of photos? Very cool!
It looks like you guys had a great time. Such a fun family trip! I love the pictures of the kids eating ice cream. :) You have a beautiful family!
love these photos!! it looks like you guys had alot of fun..i mean..who wouldn't without that amazing ice cream at the end.
How fun! You do a great job of capturing all those funny moments with your kids. Loved the "thumb" picture...and the shoveling of onions and pickles...ahh, still laughing! That is strange...but hey, all kids eat weird things! Alexa was very into pickles and lemons for quite some time. That's what we gave her at restuarants b/c she just sucked on them for so long we had a nice, long peaceful dinner!=)
really cute pictures, Abby! looks like so much fun! one of the bike trails we do has an ice cream stop along the way and it's my favorite!
