Days in Valley Forge

Valley Forge has become one of our favorite places to go when we need a beautiful day outside. They just have such peaceful and well kept grounds, we really love it there. This was one of the first times we took our bikes for a ride around the loop. I thought I'd be pretty set to tackle those hills after all the spin classes I'd been to, but holy cow, nothing prepares you for those real climbs. It was hard, but still a lot of fun. The kids did pretty well for the most part, but I think flying around those corners really freaked Jayda out. Quite a few times during the bike ride Jayda would scream "turn around! pleeeease, turn around!" No amount of convincing would make her believe that turning around would actually take longer then just finishing the loop. It was really funny, especially now!

After the ride we went to Zwahlehn's, an adorable ice cream shop a few minutes away from Valley Forge. They have really good ice cream and candy. It was a great way to top off a day of bike riding!
