Our Fourth

We did a family "ride bike" at about 9am on the Jordan River Parkway Trail. This is a very nice facility that runs from at least 33rd South down to about 85th South. Even at the time we went it was pretty well populated. Sometimes people don't realize that it's best to stop off the main trail. We did 12 miles. With the tandem pulling the trailer it is pretty long and makes for some interesting maneuvering at times. It was a great day for the fourth. The sky was clear and it didn't get too hot or too windy. We came home from the ride and made our own sausage biscuit and egg breakfast. We went to Leslie's about 3pm and went swimming. I mostly just laid on the inflatable mat. Laney was too chicken to do much in the water. I think we need to let her have her floaty suit back for some of the time. I had purchased a small $20 set of fireworks at Albertson's and at about 9:30pm, back at home, mostly in our pajamas we set them off. Laney was quite enthralled and thrilled with it all. We tried to set off several at a time and only mildly succeeded. The best was five Piccolo Petes at one time (Yes, they still call them that.) And there was much giggling and joviality. I think on the 24th of July we might try to do something imaginative with them.
