A family hobby, maybe?

Even before I met my bride to be, I always had made the assumption that since racing was my highest priority in life that it would be true of my soul mates. Even if she were not already a gear head I would betroth someone who understood my passion and she too, along with any future offspring would naturally follow suite. To my chagrin it was not meant to be. For a myriad of reasons really and I will not delve to deep into the why's and why not's but needless to say it was just not meant to be.
So, what we needed was a true family activity. We bought a cataraft (AKA 6 foot pontoon boat) and snagged the extra one that Sara's dad had and viola! We were river rats! Each trip to the cabin meant a new trip down the river. Well, still not exactly a "family" hobby since only Sara and I could go and needed a drop off and pick up a the end of the float.
Fishing! Why not? The whole family could do it. Whoops, Devyn might be a touch small to be hanging out around the river at her age.
Shooting! Why of course, even at a young age I enjoyed plinking at cans and critters. We would make it a family outing with a picnic lunch and some lizard catching to go along with the frivolities. But alas, not much fun with family time transcending into chase time and an awful lot of convincing Myale that we were there to "shoot" the ground squirrels, not catch them for a pet.
What to do... Well, here we are with our latest attempt at a truly family oriented, all inclusive hobby; biking. Every kid loves to ride their bike, Sara and I are both really still kids at heart, we can grow into it, only start up costs are incurred... hmmm? This might work! Today marked our first family outing on the Boise greenbelt where we found ourselves trekking along with happy kids which in turn makes for happy parents. A stop along the way for a quick appetizer and beer de'jour at TableRock and we were off again stopping to feed the ducks at Ann Morrison Park while little Devyn took a snooze riding in her new trailer.
Cross your fingers everyone. We might have stumbled onto something.
