Along with loosing teeth, Ruth has finally reached the milestone of riding a bike without training wheels. Now that we don't have to pull two kids in the trailer, the idea of family bike rides is a lot more appealing. So, Saturday morning, we loaded up the van and took the kids on the Back Bay Loop Trail in Newport Beach. What appeared to be a nice easy loop turned out to be a three hour, 10.5 mile excursion. I wasn't sure if Ruth would make it the whole way, but she did!
The winter months are a wonderful time to visit California not only because of the weather, but because many birds migrate here for the winter. We saw so many birds along the ride, including an Osprey and a Blue Heron, two of my favorites. In this photo, we are standing opposite the bay from where our car is parked and still have over halfway to go.
