Moments with Karen

It was fun to have Karen home for spring break. We had fun in the snow that I posted about, and then the sun came out! We decided to go on a bike ride on some nearby trails in Beaverton called Fanno Creek Trail. We printed out a map of the trail, and Sue drove us to the trail head, and off we went! 

On the car ride over. 

A big, tall, branchless tree we biked by. 

Stopping to take off our jackets, and stuff them in the bag! We went from hot to cold depending on if the trail was in the shade or sun. 

Playing 'Pooh stick'. I had never heard of it, but I guess it's something Winnie the Pooh does. You take one stick each, throw it in, and the stick that passes under the bridge first wins! We threw them in, and they did not move. So, there was no winner :) 



The is the cute bike I was riding. Sue and Ray found it at a garage sale for really cheap. Karen is taking it to college with her so she can ride it around campus. 

We kept our eye out for wild life, but did not see much. 
The trail was a lot of fun, and as it turned out, our maps were not worth much! The trail kept right on going when we entered Tigard, but it showed that it ended on the map. We just followed the trail, and ended up by the Tigard Library! It was a lot of fun! All this bike riding the past few days has made me excited for Summer, and all the fun outdoor stuff we will get to do when it is sunny everyday! :)
