riding bikes!

2 weekends ago we decided to take a bike ride. We went from our house out to Ord dunes park. It was about 5 miles out there and then 5 miles back. It was fun but if you know the Ord area you know that there are hills everywhere and they are steep hills. I thought I was going to die on a few hills we took especially the one next to my house. But we had fun. we went through the old barracks area and on down to the ocean. The first picture is of the dunes next to the ocean. This was the shooting range. They would line up and then shoot at the dunes. The army also planted the ice plants on the dunes to try and stop the sand from blowing!

These are some of the old barracks. This half of Ord is covered with them. Its so cool to look at and picture how life was back then when this place was hopping!

This is Jason riding his bike near the train docks... and sticking his tongue out at me.


There are the kids enjoying their ride... lucky ducks!
