Afternoon bike ride

I wanted to get us out of the house for some fresh air. I walked the dogs while the girls rode their bikes. I made them ride on the side walk for safety reasons. Saige tried to break this rule no less than 10 times. She kept riding her bike into the street and then it would take a few minutes to get her back on the side walk. :) Reese, Hannah and Allie did a lot of waiting. So patient.

Then we were crossing the street and noticed a small (but scary snake). I thought it was (newly) dead and proceeded to poke it with a stick. I flipped it on it's back and the snake opened it's mouth. Poor Reese jumped ten feet and screamed! Saige didn't even blink. She wanted to get closer, and wanted to study it more. She is so brave and adventurous.

Then our little bike ride got more exciting when two cars nearly hit each other and honked. The girls got a little lesson in road rage. Fun fun!!

It took us about 35 minutes to go around one block in our neighborhood. Always exciting at the denune household. Reese went to bed still talking about the snake. It made a big impression with her.
