Grandma and Grandpa were nice enough to let us borrow their brand new bike trailer today so we could go for a bike ride. I say “go for a bike ride” like it was no big deal, but really it turned into a half-day excursion. Papa couldn’t find a piece to the bike rack for his car so we decided to take mine, which meant we had to move the car seat and put some of the seats down. Oh yeah, and find all our bike stuff after the long winter. Then, we had to get my bike and the trailer from their house, so we drove over there and let Little Bear sleep in the car while we assembled and packed everything. I had the car half way on, you know, where you can listen to the radio but not drive? When we left to leave, the car was dead. So we got a jump from a friendly neighbor (who actually ended up giving us a cargo cover for free that was made for my car type, so it worked out). Then we had to get gas. Then get Little Bear a bike helmet which caused a major meltdown in Babies R Us. Then, we had to go get lunch food and finally show up at the park.
But after that, it was a great ride. Little Bear’s helmet didn’t fit that well so she only wore it half the time. Yeah, I know, I’m a horrible mother. But we rode slow and stayed off the streets. Anyway, now that we’ve got everything together, future bike rides will be easier to take. And since the weather is finally nice, I fully plan to.
Notice how she’s not wearing her helmet in ANY of these pictures? Yeah, it’s because she hates it. Also, we may have snapped her chin in it once. Oops.
