Family bike adventure

Today we did something we've never all done together as a family: biking.  Jude and Eva are still riding trikes.  Hannah doesn't even own a bicycle.  But we borrowed a bike trailer for the little ones and my mom's bike for Hannah and head to the route of the Hiawatha for a little family adventure.  You can read more on the site, but the Hiawatha is a 15 mile bike trail along an old railroad route.  There are a number of tunnels to ride through, the longest of which is the 100+ year old Taft tunnel: a cool, damp, pitch dark 1.7 mile ride through the Bitterroot mountains between Montana and Idaho.  There are also some beautiful old trestles along this historic mountain rail route.

Here's a few pictures getting ready:

Not sure what's going on here, but I thought it was worth everyone's smile...
