As you know it's been awhile since we've updated our blog. We had such a fun summer that we didn't make time for blog posts. Even though we don't have a lot of spare time now we've finally committed ourselves.
We visited Ryanne's mom this summer for a week. During that time we biked the Hiawatha Bike Trail. It starts off with a 2 mile long tunnel that is pitch black and freezing cold. We were not prepared for it and poor Spencer screamed the whole way through the tunnel. The other tunnels along the 15 miles trail weren't as long so he did fine. The beautiful scenery definitely made up for that one scary tunnel.

We stopped half way to eat lunch and to rest our legs. Spencer did not want to get back into his carrier, but he had no choice.
It took us a few hours to complete the trail. Somehow Spencer found a comfortable spot and fell asleep for an hour. This is a family photo at the very end of the trail.
Instead of biking 15 miles uphill back to our cars we paid to take the shuttle. However, it doesn't take you the full way back. You still have to go through the 2 mile long dark, scary tunnel. Spencer was not happy about this but Casey sang and I rode behind him so he had a light on him. He did much better this time, but we can't say the same for Amber. She looked right into an oncoming bikers light, lost her balance, and crashed. We all laughed because painful accidents are funny, but we're glad she had a helmet on because otherwise it would have been her head that cracked open. Her legs were pretty beat up but she survived to tell the tale. What a fun trip!
