Ouch

Well, today I went biking at Ft. Custer with my dad, it was a lot of fun. I will tell you what we saw:
-we went by a little lake and saw several turtles getting sun on a few logs in the lake, like 8 of them, so I took a picture, and then dad and I took a picture of us on a log by a pretty flowery tree
-we saw a couple of swans in another lake, pretty big ones too
-we saw a snake, both him and me almost ran it over, but we didn't, so we went back and took a picture of that too, it tried to look bigger and scarier by widening it's neck to make itself look more like a cobra or something, I swear that when I went by it the first time it had it's mouth open about to bite me, but it didn't.
-also saw a beaver dam, really big, but didn't see any beavers...kind of wished we would've, that would've been interesting
-once we got off the 2-tracker, which was in the first 15 minutes of riding, we noticed that they had burned all the underbrush, for atleast 2 miles, but since both dad and I were wearing yellow-tinted sunglasses, it didn't look as depressing until we took them off...very black, it was just done a week ago.

Surprisingly, there was next to nobody on the trail, we only passed 2 people with a dog walking, so it didn't slow us down too bad. We took the green loop, mostly, at the beginning, we were on a small part of the red loop with was just the trenches, which is great fun, my favorite small easy part...didn't go near granny's garden or the crazy beaver loop where my tree was or anything like that, but it was a lot of fun, and my butt hurts so I know that it was fun, my legs will hurt tomorrow, my butt worse, but that's ok, because it was a lot of fun. I think my mom was kind of jealous, not just because we were biking, that was only part of it, because my dad was talking to her on his cell phone, and he had said "well it's father-daughter day..." and so I said "if she feel jealous, tell her that if she wants we can go spend time together at the mall or something..." ha yeah ok...maybe some time, but I'd need my own money first, atleast a little bit of it.
well, I'm tired and I want to go sit and read my book or something. I would love to sit on something squishy for a while...not that bike seat.
