Walkin' and Wheelin' Wednesday!

On Wednesdays, the boys' school encourages them to walk or ride their bikes. You would think that I would embrace this, but in all actuality...I'm rarely too excited about it. I think the problem is that
1. I have turned into a slight fair weather biker and it's getting cold in the mornings and,
2. the thought of getting them ready for school is hard enough on most mornings (I've got a major lollygagger on my hands), but then ride bikes too?!

However, I've come to find out that no matter what mood the boys are in on Wednesday mornings, they do not want to miss riding their bikes and even my lollygagger can turn into Mario Andretti on that bike ride to school. We have not missed one yet.


Starting out on the beginning on our trip. It's COLD and the wind is blowing...not my ideal bike-riding weather.


See the "A" in the distance? That's for Aggies, the CSU Rams original mascot. Aren't the trees beautiful this year?!


Made it! Crossing the street with all the other bikers.


They get their bikes across the playground quickly, so they have time to play with their friends befor the bell rings.


Then they have to put their bikes in the racks by themselves...don't even think of trying to help them...


This is why they do it...for a hole punch...and a chance to win prizes.

I've always wanted my kids to be active, and seeing how much they get into riding their bikes to school on Wednesdays does make me happy...even when they drag me away from my cup of coffee on a cold day when I'd rather just wave to them out the window while they get on the bus. Ah well, it's good for me...I wonder what they'll do when it snows?
