Luka's First Bike Ride

Sunday was Luka's first bike ride, and he rocked it on his TOMAC JR.(Kent Wal-Mart bike w/ training wheels). The morning started out cool and overcast, but quickly changed to a perfect fall day. Leaves everywhere, the little tird-burgler rode about five miles along the olentangy River bike path. We stopped to walk through the brush along the river to "look for bears" and stuff.
















We even found an OSU science platform in a pseudo-swamp! It was great, there was a huge wooden observation deck, and some narrow wooden walkways that were criss-crossed over the swamp. Lots of birds, turtles, groundhogs and fat crackers were out Sunday. No bears though..maybe next time.
















Not only did he do all the riding along the river, but when we got back, I took him out again for another hour roll around the neighborhood to the park! Mary from Luck Bros drove by and waved, and he picked up his pace about 10 mph....geesh, it starts already.















Lyd had a great time riding too. She hasn't had much time to do so lately, so it was a nice chance to get out. We stopped and threw rocks into the river (his fave thing to do), then rode back home for pancakes. We carved the pumpkins, made dinner, and had some vino. A Sunday well spent....
