Emmitt here! Happy Friday!
It is such a nice summer day, let's join my mom on one of her favorite things to do...
Let's go on a bike ride!
Ok, here is my mom, Melissa. She will be your tour guide on her favorite route. I never go with her. She says something about me getting us both killed or something silly like that.
Besides she would need to find me a pug helmet and my head is kind of well.... dome shaped. :)
Heee! That is ok! I like to stay home and wait for her to get back. I always greet her with songs, dancing and kisses!
Here we go down the big hill towards Boulder. See the Flatiron mountains ahead?
We are going to turn left at the light and head south.
It is a beautiful sunny day and even the camera phone is taking good pictures. How fun is that?
Here is our shadow...
This field is about 1/2 way on our 11 mile loop.
and here is the turn around point at Marshall Rd. Now all the hills we came down, we go up and all the hills we went up to get here, we go down!
How fun is that? Mom likes that she can just hop on her bike from her driveway and have this safe beautiful route she can ride. She has lived here for 15 years and still cannot believe this is home! We love Colorado!
Um... I'm dreaming about lunch of course! Someone has to plan the menus around here!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Now you know what we will be doing! Please leave us a note and tell all about what you have planned. We would love to hear all about it!

What a wonderful bike route! We live too much in the city to have a scenic (and not dangerous) bike ride. And there are no mountains in central Indiana!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the pictures!

Hi Melissa and Emmitt!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour! Colorado looks BEAUTIFUL!! I wish we had mountains like that here!!
This weekend my grandparents are coming to visit, then I am going to visit my 2 pug friends!
xo
I'm sure we're not the only ones that think mom needs to put a basket or one of those buggies (like Stubby has) on her bike so YOU can ride too!
ReplyDeleteYou can plan menus while you're riding! Maybe being out in nature will inspire you!
Happy Friday Buddy!
Love,
S-Dog
Colorado does look beautiful! Too bad your mom couldn't put you in a papoose thing and take you with her, Emmitt!
ReplyDeleteOh Emmitt, your home state is so beautiful! When momma was there last weekend, she just could not stop gawking at the mountains!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are relaxing this weekend and making sure I get ALL healed up from my surgery!!

Who needs exercise when you have a comfy bed like yours, Emmitt? I enjoyed seeing the pretty scenery on your Mom's route.
ReplyDelete"a pug helmet"...I love that! I can see Emmitt riding in a basket on your bike with a helmet and goggles on. Wheeeeeee!
ReplyDelete11 miles, yikes! You do all that art and exercise? I'm more like Emmitt. I like to nap and dream about what to eat 8o). Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa, first of all, I love the display you had at Pugs In The Park...wonderful as always. How nice that your sister could be there with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing the beautiful scenery from your bike ride. Smart girl you are to wear a helmet...very smart....good for you.

Ohh what a lovely bike ride! My mommie likes to bike too, I can't go with her either, stupid mommie.
ReplyDeleteIt has been beautiful here today too - and the weekend is supposed to be nice and cool - lots of long walks planned.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy.
Oh wow, totally great post. I will be sure & share this with Dan. He is big in to the cycling and of course he has been longing to move to Colorado since we visited at election time. Maybe some day we will relocate. We found the coolest little neighborhood full of post modern style new construction in Boulder.
ReplyDeleteSo, how was lunch?

Hi Emmitt! Tell your mom that you have to get a buggy like mine so you can go bike riding. I love my buggy and Mom doesn't mind having me as a passenger. The scenery around your house is spectacular and I'm sure you would like to get out of the house and see it.

Hi Melissa and Emmitt
ReplyDeleteYour Colorado is so beautiful. The photos are so spectacular.
What fun that must be to ride your bike through the country side.
No more bike riding for me- i almost kill myself on these hills and curvy roads. Never could understand those bikes with speeds!
Thank you for sharring your world with us,
love
tweedles and mom
What a fabulous bike ride and beautiful photos. I love riding a bike and would love to ride with that view!!
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun tour Melissa !
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool to see where you live and what you are up to.
Wow, your mom sure did have a great ride, Emmitt! And it looks like you had a nice rest! Naps rock! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute post, Melissa! Thank you for leaving such a nice comment about my post and blog at CraftforHealth.
ReplyDeleteI know why you love living there. What a great biking trail! I'm more like Emmitt I'm afraid, used to like to ride a bike though. Maybe I should invest in one again with a big basket to carry my little friends around the neighborhood where I know we will be safe on the sidewalks. A 3 wheeler maybe???
ReplyDeleteoh wow!!! the photos are wonderful and Emmitt...well he always makes us smile....
ReplyDeleteHugs
Diana
what pretty scenery for a bike ride - but tell mommy you want to come so get you a basket to ride in or something
ReplyDeleteWoodrow - Sweetie - MJ
Oh wow! It is beautiful! That would be a great route.. shame I live in such a busy area or else the bike riding would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteEmmitt - I think your mom should buy a basket and take you that way!
Mom and dad have always wanted to visit Colorado! Everyone we meet says that it's just gorgeous there and it sure looks it from these photos!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots
Maggie and Mitch
