Family bike ride










Tonight some of us went out on a bike ride. Jaxson was sick and stayed back with Sophi who had homework to do. It was a beautiful night with the big sun setting. They say Kansas has some of the most beautiful sunsets ever! It has been a really wet year and allergies have been crazy, especially mold, check out the photos of mushrooms, dark ones from our yard, white ones from our neighbors yard.
We also have these really crazy trees that everyone who visits wants to know more about. They are called Hedge Apple Trees. They were origianlly planted in acre lots to help keep the wind under control on peoples property and supposedly they keep out bugs and snakes. There is a really pretty tree just down the street from us and the apples, which are very poisenous to eat, are falling like crazy right not, so we had to get a few pictures.
As Gracie and I were riding around waiting for Daddy and Bella to get ready, we stopped in front of a big tree and looked up and saw this huge squirrel staring at us, you can see it's eyes and body if you look close...it was a bit scary!
Fun night, riding around with the family...hope Jaxson feels better soon!

Those white mushrooms are crazy, they look fake. I remember the hedge apples, they look like decorations you'd buy at pier 1. We do have great memories of Kansas sunsets.
