It seems that the whole family was not available for our bike ride this past weekend with Ellie staying overnight at Grandma and Grandpa's and Tammy not feeling like a bike ride.
So Jack and I were on our own and rode several miles for our trip. We started by riding to Riverview Farm Forest Preserve and then south along Book Road down to just north of 127th Street. At 119th Street we noticed a lot of activity at the polo field. There was quite a crowd and the County Sheriff was at the intersection. They were nice enough to stop traffic for us when we were heading south and then again when we came back north to the forest preserve. We stopped along the DuPage River to throw a few rocks and branches into the water. There was a family walking down to the river while we were there and while Jack was watching the kids fish, I was sitting at one of the picnic tables. I looked over to see if Jack was ready to continue home and noticed he was casting one of the fishing poles. He fished for a little while and then we were on our way home.
All in all, a great time was had by the both of us and we are looking forward to our next trip, hopefully with more of the family.
