Day #171

Today was a GREAT day! we packed a lot into this summer day, and in true wing it fashion.

Nathan and Leah both finished the first of their summer school workbooks. YEAH for them!! So as a suprise we told them we would take to to go get ice cream. So we loaded the bikes on the van and headed to Ye Old Mill in Utica, Ohio which is home to the Velvet Ice Cream Factory. We had lunch there and then our ice cream.

I also ran into an old friend there that I hadn't seen in prolly 20 years. Skip who use to run the local Computer BBS. He happen to be back in Ohio.

Then it was time to pack up the van and head back to Johnstown, Ohio to the T.J. Evans bike trail. Which is a rails to trails bike trail that goes from Newark, OH to Johnstown, OH, and points in between. It is a 14+ mile bike trail, we only did 11 miles of it, 5.5miles out and back. The kids did great. Until the last few miles. Leah gave up on me and stopped pedaling the last 4 miles. She was on the tagalong. And about the last half mile Kristi had to yell at her because she started to fall asleep. It was kinda funny.

But today's photo is at one of the bridges that are on the bike trail. I ran down below on the road and took a photo of them above.

Then back home with a quick stop at the cemetery at route 3 and 36&37 in Sunbury, OH to show the kids where their Great Great Grandfather and Mother are buried.
