50 Mile Bike Ride

Yes, folks, that's right. 50 miles on a bike. Oh the joys of scouting. Brian has been working with his boys for the last few weeks on getting their biking merit badge. They started out doing two 15 milers, then they did two 25 milers. To complete the badge, they had to do a 50 mile bike ride. They rode their bikes all the way to Riverdale, Idaho. They ended at a pretty ghetto water park and most stayed to play in the water for a while. I had to go pick up Brian from the park and he was so exhausted from the ride, he didn't want to swim (plus anyone who knows Brian, knows he's not big on swimming in public areas). We stayed for a few minutes to chat with some people who are in our ward and who used to be in our ward. Then we came home and just chilled the rest of the day at home. Brian was too tired and sore to do much of anything. 50 miles on a bike is a LONG way when you aren't used to it. Poor guy. But he did it and so did all his scouts. Yay for Brian! It's done!

And of course, our section on Ethan. He is sitting up really well and won't stay on his back for more than ten seconds anymore. The only problem with him rolling is that he rolls to his belly in his crib then can't roll back so he just starts screaming. He doesn't get the naps he needs anymore thanks to rolling over. Rolling onto his tummy wakes him up and then he won't go back to sleep. Little stinker. I wish he would just roll back to his back. He knows how but won't and then gets really mad. Its so funny to watch him sometimes though. He is getting so big and Brian and I can't believe he's almost 7 months old already. Our little baby is growing up so fast. I have to say that I really like this stage he's in though. He is starting to play with us more, laugh more, and just shows so much personality. He has found his tongue the last few days so he clicks it on accident and sometimes surprises himself. Its so funny! I love this kid!
