Biking & Splash Morning

Here's a collection of biking and splashing pictures and video... there was plenty of fun!!!

I thought I would have regretted having them get SOAKED.... but they needed baths today anyway. And by the afternoon our front puddle has dried up :( Between the great puddle and the beautiful high 70's weather.... it was a great morning for puddles:)

As you might have been able to tell from the pics, Lydia wasn't too crazy about being splashed by her siblings... but she eventually started to jump in the puddle was well!!!

Another Bike Contraption

A couple of months ago my mom was cleanign out her garage and found the old bike that she'd connect to her bike...so my little brother could ride with her. When our little guys are too big to ride in a seat and too little to ride safety on the road (or at least with Mom and and Dad comfortable with them riding on the road)....there aren't many solutions.

Well we found the replacement part for our AlleyCat and so now Brian can pull the little ones in the trailer and I can ride with Anna "helping" on the AlleyCat....

.... BOTH Anna and Christopher tried it and LOVED riding on it:) Although Christopher feet can't quite get to the peddles, yet:)And I'm thinking it will also be a good transition for Anna as she's really wanting to ride her bike without training wheels... so maybe this will give her the confidence:)

By the way... still enjoying the pics with Anna's camera??

Been Downgraded :)

I didn't want to miss the biking man with his three Amigos!! So I scooped up Anna's little camera.... So until I get to Andrea's I've been downgraded to a Fisher Price Kid Tough...hmmm 0 Megapixel camera...at least it's easy to use:)



Actually I thought Brian was going to hook up our Alley Cat (we got the replacement part today Mom), but instead he hooked up his Coccoon... Still a funny sight in our little town:) And it gives this Momma a few minutes of quiet.... much needed today.

"mountain"- biking :)

This evening we got to do something Brian has been hoping to do for a LONG time. We have some friends that own a large amount of farm land that Brian has had the opportunity to go four-wheeling on and biking once.

Being a mountain boy, he would love to be out in the midle of no-where on his bike... just exploring!! But with three kiddies and an out-of-shape wife, he doesn't often get to "sneak away" often:)

This afternoon we did..... TOGETHER!!!

We hit a few snags.....

mostly having to do with Anna having training wheels:)

1. Her training wheels kept getting stuck in the sand.... so we had to ditch the bike on the trail

2. Where can a 4-yr old ride??? So Brian held her for a bit, but pulling the trailer was a little too tough for me, especially in the sandy parts:)

Well... this is how we ended up enjoying the rest of our ride:) Anna loved riding in the back on the trailer... I'm sure there are signs that kid shouldn't ride in the back pocket.... but what do you do in the middle of a bike ride in the middle of fields???? At least she was wearing the helmet:)
