One fine sunny day, Marie woke up, inspired to do something. She had all sorts of ideas. She and her husband discussed them all, and then finally he said, "How about we go for a bike ride along the Poudre river trail?"
"What a great idea!" she replied. So they prepared a bag of things they might need, loaded the bikes into the truck, drove to Wal-Mart where they parked it, and proceeded to cycle down the trail.
The Poudre was definitely at a low season, most of the snow having already melted from the mountains, but it was still beautiful to see, and they felt like they were in the countryside as they cycled along this clear, calm body of water.
After a few miles, they decided it was time to stop and sit for a bit.
They rode off the trail into a forest, and found the most delightful little spot in the shade, by the man-made waterfall, which they pretended was real, because it made the most wonderful, peaceful sound. They crossed over to a small island, but realised it was covered in rocks, on which it would not be comfortable to sit.
From the island though, they spotted the most beautiful, little place, under huge trees, where they could sit quite comfortably for the ground was covered in moss.
They crossed back over and laid out a blanket, and took some pictures.
And what did they do after they had settled themselves comfortably? Why, they did what anyone else would - they played Scrabble.
After they finished their quicker than normal game, for the mosquitoes were starting to bite, they stepped back up on their bikes and cycled back to Wal-Mart, but not before stopping at Dairy Queen for a yummy treat.
All in all, a fantastic day had by both!
(There you go, Sam!)
