Today was a day off from school for the kids so I decided to them out for a bike ride this morning. It was a beautiful cool day here, a slight breeze and the sun was shinning. As we live close to the Ottawa River, we decided to go for a ride along the river path. We saddled up and off we went.
During the ride (I ran along side Natalie, she is still getting used to the stops and starts), I was able to just enjoy the river and the surroundings, the water lapping along the river bank, the trees blowing in the wind and the birds in the sky. It was pretty amazing, we didn’t hear too much of the traffic even though the riding path was along the Ottawa Parkway. Everything just seemed so right.
We biked up to the pond where Matthew caught a frog a evening before with his friend. Nature right in the city. Can’t beat that.
The ride was short as the kids had a plans with my parents but we had a great little adventure right in our back yard. These are the little things that make living in Ottawa so good!
