This last weekend for my friend Kim's birthday we drove to northern Idaho (doing 950 miles in 3 days) to ride the Hiawatha trail. This trail is about 15 miles it takes you through tunnels and over bridges while you ride on dirt covered train track. it was beautiful and we had a blast. While on this ride however Jen caught this moment of Andrea putting something in my backpack(but or course she let us pose before she took it)... I know I am tall but I didn't realize that i was THAT tall...Don't get me wrong I like to be tall.. but I have not often STOOD in a picture, I usually bend my knees, and so I guess I haven't really seen me standing next to someone in all my tallness.
Oh and I almost forgot to mention... they all got cute flowery girl bikes and I had to ride a mans bike... Honestly I am not the tallest girl in the world, don't people realize that there are plenty of tall women who don't want to ride mens bikes for the rest of their lives? I was thinking about buying a bike a couple of weeks ago and when i went in to the store the man even said, oh I don' t think we have a womans bike that would be tall enough for you... Honestly I go to a specialty store and they want me to buy a mans bike. Ok I know there isn't a huge difference in the bikes but its the fact of the matter..

That sure was a fun trip! I love those pics! You probably wouldn't look so tall if you weren't standing next to shrimps :-) I'm not even 5'5"!

That looked like it would be so much fun I am totally jealous of you. Call me next time you do something fun like that.

Sounds like a fun ride. I just read that Jetta is pregnant! How exciting for them. I hope that everything goes really well for them...that is a really hard thing to have to go through...but hopefully all of that hard stuff is over. How are you doing? We are well...been to Europe and back and a million other little trips too. Hope you are doing well. Love ya!
