Biking in a Winter Wonderland!

Monday Adrienne wanted to go out and take some snow pics, but none of the kids wanted to bike down to the river with her!  I thought it sounded like fun so I offered to go along. We weren't sure how the ride would be since the roads are covered in snow and ice, but we decided to give it a try!  Luckily on most of the roads there was crunchy snow on top so the bikes did ok.  Adrienne did dump her bike once on an icy patch, but being the adventurous nature photographer that she is, she was fearless and we kept going!  It was BEAUTIFUL!!!  The sun was shining and the air was full of glittery snow, it felt like we were in a snow globe!  She got some great photos.  At one point we went right down to the river and walked over the snow only to find there was ice below us and we were actually walking on the river.  We were hounded(hahahaha) by a young black lab that may or may not have been being playful.  Its owners could not get control of it. So we went the other way for a while then we headed to the road bridge over the river.  We were having a great time to so we kept going and crossed to the other side of the road and I showed Adrienne the water park. She took some amazing photos and we had such fun talking and admiring the glittery snow both on the ground and in the air.  On the way back the sun went behind some clounds and it got cold!  Our cheeks were very red by the time we got home!  What a fun way to spend some time with my oldest daughter!!  I love her so much and am so proud of the wonderful young woman she has become!  I am truly blessed!  Below are a few of the photos she took....
