Homeschool PE is as Easy as a Bike Ride on the Katy Trail

One good thing about homeschooling is that PE can be as easy as a bike ride on a nearby trail.  This bike ride took place on the Katy Trail (K-T Trail).

The Katy Trail is an old railroad track that is no longer used.  It has been pulled up and limestone rocks poured in its place.  The result is an amazing trail with fantastic views along the Missouri River.  Our PE for the day consisted of riding bicycles several miles.  We went out for about 45 minutes and then returned.  We hit as much as 13 mph at times.

 It also provides some great opportunities to take in God's creation.

This tree is one I've always enjoyed seeing along the trail.  Someday I want to sketch it or water paint it or do something artistic with it.
