Some days are too hot in Texas for hikes more than a few miles, kids in tow, but the plus side is that the fats can't take any bit of heat. We do 4 mile, 2 there 2 back, hikes/walks every evening and my husband and I do 10 miles hikes/jogs every fri/sat/sun. We are working with the kids, 2 boys, on becoming proficient on mountain bikes. So excited to go for family rides. I am the "skinny bitch with animals" and my husband is "the Army jerk" in the neighborhood. We literally have no contact with any neighbors except one, and he is a professional boxer
