My daughter and I just went on a nearly four-mile bike ride. She'd been wanting to ride bikes this weekend but I couldn't quite get her motivated earlier in the day. I didn't know if she'd still have fun since we didn't start until about 11:30 (and it's almost 95 *F out) but she did great! There's a bike path not too far from our house; this time we drove there, because the only way to get there is on some very busy streets.

There were so many bunnies, chipmunks, and enormous lizards that every few feet included some new wildlife.

I'm in a great mood. It's funny how happy pedaling makes me!
