Beautiful day for a bicycle ride

We didn't do very much this morning. Although the weather was a little cooler with a forecasted high of only 22C, the sun was out and it was a perfect day for a bicycle ride. So after lunch, we headed out on our bicycle from the campground to the Vedder River trail. We have to ride five kilometres to get to the trail. The trail is a well-maintained and well-used gravel path and is part of the Trans Canada Trail system. There were quite a few people walking on the path and a few people either fishing or playing on the river shore. We rode three kilometres to the Vedder bridge and back for a total return trip of 16 kilometres. Not a long ride but we haven't done much riding since last summer. We will have to work up to the 30-some kilometre trips we were doing last summer.
After supper we went to a local park with Adam, Leah & David. Every Friday during the months of July and August, the town of Chilliwack holds a family fun night. There are a couple of activities for children such as face painting and mini putt. There's also live music and a few local vendors.

Here is little David showing Papa how it's done.

Later we went back to Adam & Leah's place after picking up coffees from Timmy's. Tomorrow if it doesn't rain, we are going to Leah's job site for a close-up view of the new bridge being built between Langley and Maple Ridge. That should be very interesting.
