30 miles!

john and our friend jason have always wanted to take the bike trail that follows the river bottom to the beach, so, yesterday was the big day. the word "big" is an understatement... it was a 30 mile bike ride! neither one of them ever ride their bikes so i thought they were crazy to attempt such a huge feat. lisa and i and the kids dropped them off at green river and we headed towards huntington beach. the plan was to meet them there when the ride was over but we were hesitant to go too far in case they changed their minds and needed us to turn around and pick them up. so we hung out and did some shopping and got some ice cream. to our suprise, they were making good time and were doing great so we drove out to the beach and walked around while we waited for them. i didn't know if they'd make it but i should have known better because they are both so stubborn that they wouln't allow themselves to give up! it took them 4 1/2 hours to complete the 30 miles (quick tip: make sure your bike has a VERY COMFORTABLE seat BEFORE attempting a 30 mile bike ride). lisa and i are so proud of them. when we all were together again we filled our bellies with pizza and pizookies. it was a fun day! great job guys! we love you!
