Bike rides...estate sales...ice cream and the boys of summer

It's Monday, but it's the summer so does it make it any better? Poor Monday, it gets such a bad rap! Unlike Friday...who gets all the high fives and happy hours.

Anyway, the weekend was nice. Very relaxed. I stumbled across an estate sale (love that!) and my kids took home 3 puzzles (1000 piercers...eeeek) and huge handfuls of fabric, all for $8.00.  This should keep them busy.

I think the best thing was going on a family bike ride...we were out for 4 hours!  That's a first.  Of course we ended up getting ice cream at the end, which was the best part.  You gotta love a bike ride followed by ice cream...I mean, I certainly burnt the calories!

So I have another photoshop class tonight...oh man, it's blowing my mind (in a good way).  But there is still lots to learn. 

Here are a few photos I took over the weekend...ahhhhhh...summer goodness :)





I totally forgot about this song...it's still one of my favorites! 



Have a beautiful week!

Sadly the only bike riding I do these days is on the exercise bike at the gym.

Beautiful photos, Caroline. Wow!

And yes, it makes it better when Mondays are in the summer. So true!

Great pictures. A family bike ride sounds nice. I remember this Henley song. A good one to hear again.

The Frenchman and I had a similar day yesterday. A leisurely bike ride that lasted several hours and ended with ice cream. Well a mocha frapp for me and a chocolate shake for him. (btw...I would buy whatever that guy in your first photo was sellin'....I'm just sayin'....)

Carolyn - You're so funny! But yeah, those arms...*sigh* :)

And I love this Don Henley video.

Caronline,
I love your header and the braid in your hair. I used to braid my girls hair. The won't let me touch their hair today...they want to do mine. LOL And wonderful photos.

what a fab weekend!!! and a 4 hour bike ride?!? yowza! that is a long ride, but i bet it was a blast!

I don't know how I've been missing your posts?! But I love seeing your learning and works in progress.
Love when we can do things as a family - hope these are the memories my kids recall and not the nutty mommy at her wits' end! (;

i love your out and about photos....

and estate sales....i can't say no to those...EVER !

Caroline love that BW of the ice cream man! Classic!

great shots...is the last your daughter? beautiful

sounds like a good time - wow four hours is a lot of fun!

So interesting...the guy in the tank top is actually leaning against an metal box. He was waiting for this girlfriend to fishing rinsing off her feet. He not selling anything...

Oh, Caroline, you made my heart sigh with delight. "The Boys of Summer" may be my all time fave song in the whole world. Truly! It puts me into the coolest space... And your photos are awesome!

That sounds like a great weekend! I love estate and yard sales. I haven't found a great stack of fabric in quite a while. We took a nice long bike ride on Sunday and I'm looking forward to finding lots of new trails in our area.

Love these pictures. Summer. Ahhhhhh . . . and the song. One of my all time favorite summer songs. (Just added "Girls in Their Summer Clothes" by Springsteen. I can't get it out of my head.)
