Biking With the Kids!

Today was so beautiful I knew we were headed for the park. AJ requested a park that's about a 20 walk for us if he rides his bike or scooter (meaning I can push Lizzy in the stroller at a fast-mom-walk pace) but sometimes after playing hard at the park he whines about the ride home. So since Andy readied my bike for the trailer a week or so ago, I decided to bite the bullet today and try it out.

Here's what it looks like except ours is blue. Both kids can fit in it plus the diaper bag or whatever else we need stows behind them. I'd never used it before other than taking it for a test spin in the hallway, so I was a little nervous, but it was so fun! AJ rode in back and Lizzy rode in our little green iBert seat (left) between my arms. AJ loved the ride so much that next time I think I'll try putting them both back there together! With the bike and trailer it only took us about 5 min to get to the park and getting them to leave for home was easier too since I could offer a fun ride instead of the "usual". Hooray for city biking!
