Ice Cream and Biking

Those two things don't seem like they should go together, but today, they did.
I know I said I'd try to bring the camera out with us, but I forgot. Big surprise there. Fortunately, my kids keep me plenty entertained around the house!
I received an ice cream machine for my birthday, and today I decided to make coffee ice cream. Now, if you know me, you know I can go either way with it. I don't love it, but I don't mind it every so often. Coffee ice cream is definitely my favorite, so I'll try to remember to post this recipe because it came out really good.
Needless to say, my kids are fiends for ice cream. I was washing the dishes while the ice cream was spinning, and after going into the kids room for something, came back to this.

Lena is pleading here...Eli is upset I caught him and was now going to publicly humiliate him. I told them they could try it, and they were thrilled.

Unfortunately, I got the "look" when I told them no double-dipping. They were ready for more!On to biking. Dad finally smoothed out the ton of dirt that sat between the house and barn. The kids took this as a challenge. I got tons of pictures of them biking, but these were my two favorite. Here's Eli going up and Javen going down at 100 mph. Obviously I over exaggerate. But it felt that way to my mother's heart.
And here's Jim acting like a kid :) He pulled a pop-a-wheelie, and was really excited I got it on film, so I thought I'd share it with all of you. Notice the sheer determination on his face?
I hope your week goes fast, and your weekend lasts.
