Family bike ride


You know that we give Mallory a big girl bike. Mallory decided it would be good if we all had bikes so for father's day we gave Philip bikes. Not just one, but two. Of course one is for me. I should say we used the gift that mom and dad gave him to help pay for them. On Sunday after Mallory and I had a two hour nap we went to the park. We got to North Shore park about 4:45. We went for a ride around lake woodlands. We went to Woodlands parkway to Grogan's Mill and around to the park. It took about a hour and a half . Mallory did GREAT!!! We stopped to show her the bridge from Woodlands parkway at the dragon park and got a drink, and stopped next to the pavilion where a courtyard with bathroom were put in. It is nice. Mallory needed to go potty. As we came off the lake woodlands bike bridge we are going a little fast. There are two sharp turns, one to the left and the other to the right. Mallory did great on the left one but then got scared and missed the right one. Luckily she had slowed some but fell anyway. She landed on the cable that is strung around the parking lot. She hit across her chest. Somehow I did not panic. There was a couple getting out of their car and saw Mallory fall. They are the ones that said she hit her chest. When you look at her you can tell. Thankfully she was not hurt bad. We stayed at the park and had a picnic and listened to the band that was there. About thirty minutes into the concert Mallory was ready to get back on her bike. We came home and let her ride with the neighborhood kids. I would say we had a great time on our first family bike ride.
