A long ride

Last night we decided to take a walk after dinner. We went outside and loaded up in the wagon only for the kids to decide that wasn't what they wanted to do. Ashton wanted to ride his tractor, then decided he wanted to ride his bike, Maddie got in her stroller and we were off. Alex was convinced that Ashton wouldn't make it to the end of our road. I, on the other hand, knew he'd make it further than that. We started out and he was doing good. He slowed down a little after we got out on to the main road, but then got another wind. With very little assistance, Ashton made it to his friend, Cason's house which is almost to the very start of the neighborhood. We stopped and knocked on the door to say hello, but no one was home. Then it was back to the house. We had to help him up our street on the way back because of the incline, but otherwise he did it on his own. Ashton rode his bike close to a mile!!! We were super proud of him. So much for him not making it too far, huh Daddy?! Way to go Ashton!!!!
