Our Saturday morning tradition, started by Aaron, has been to get donuts. Usually, it is a trip for Aaron with one or two of the kids, early in the morning, so I can get to sleep in. Today, he invited us to all join him in a family bike ride. I was going to politely decline but he sent in the big guns – Matthew, who proceeded to bat his exceptionally long eyelashes at me, and said in the flirtiest way, ” Wanna tum bike ride me, mama?” I melted.
I ended up having to pull the trailer with Matthew in it, while Grace rode her bike and Audrey sat in the seat behind Aaron’s bike. It was quite a workout! We rode through our neighborhood, the kids loved it, and we got to our destination – Texas Donuts. Worth the effort. By the time we got home, it was midday, and time for lunch and naps. Aaron then told me that we biked for 5 miles with the kids. Not bad! We all enjoyed our time together, and that was all that mattered.
