A Fun Ride

9/27/12

We didn't really have any plans for this morning. So I asked Trav if he wanted to go on a bike ride. This turned into a trip to the local Walgreens to pick up some things for Trav's store....which turned into a biking/canning trip! **NOTE:: We live near three Walgreens. Two stores are about 5 miles from our house... making this trip about 10 miles.

We started off by just seeing a couple of cans along side the road.
Then we saw them near the first bridge.
And the second bridge.
We would sometimes catch a glimpse of silver across the road, and of course we would have to stop!! Most of the time it was a can:)
You would think if we stopped all along the way to the store the trip back would be easy and quick. Not so in our case!! It took us about 45 minutes to get home! We found more cans going back--they must have been "fresh" cans {new litter from someone}. Cans EVERYWHERE! 

On our way home, I noticed it was near a time that Canning President Kates would be driving home for lunch. And sure enough, I heard some beeping behind us! It was Kates driving by!! 
I tried to get a pic of Kates driving by, but she was too fast for me:)

It was an awesome ride and collection for us today! We rode all over the neighborhood and to a store to get these cans, got some exercise, and saw a friend while riding home! Great day all around:)
