Two Fridays ago we had a gorgeous afternoon, crisp but clear. The boys came home grumpy and tired from school, probably because it was a long week and they all work so hard at school. Despite complaints, I loaded them and their bikes into the van and we headed for the Erie Canal. We got home late, in the dark, but it was a magical, beautiful ride.
Theo and Beckett enjoyed finding Reed treasures to carry along with him, He collected mushrooms, wildflowers, pinecones, and a bottlecap during the ride. I was definitely channelling Mr. Morris, my 6th grade homeroom teacher, remembering the great bike rides we took together and the wildflower identification I learned from him.
