First family bike ride

A little over a week ago we decide to enjoy the great weather we were having for the day and go for a bike ride. We had to get everything out of storage, pump up tires and get another helmet in order to head out. Soon we were ready and everything was loaded in the truck to go on the trail we had chosen for the day. Since it was the first ride ever for Colby we had to make sure it was pretty smooth and lots of places to stop.

We ended up on a paved path that you could ride for miles and miles, we decided to go as far as we could and then turn around and head back when the natives started getting restless. I think the actual preparation ended up being longer than the ride. We went a total of 4.4 miles. I was exhausted and my legs were burning when we were done. Did I mention that the wind was blowing straight into our faces on the way back? I will try not to mention that Jamie was pulling the bike trailer and overall it was a pretty flat trek.

Both boys did well, at one point we had a little episode of "he's touching me." Is this starting already - they are 2 1/2 and 7 months old? Colby was a trooper and I think Brady enjoyed having someone in the trailer with him. The halfway point had a playground which was a great resting area. Hopefully this will be something all of us can enjoy together and I will get into better shape from it. I guess we will see where our next bike adventure takes us.

Update on Mother status

My last entry talked about waiting to be christened as a mother. Well I have had my fair share this week, Colby has had an intestinal virus and has shared almost every meal with me. I have done 8 loads of laundry and changed my clothes a total of 28 times in 4 days. I did not know a 7 month old could hold so much in their stomach when they eat so little. As if it is not bad enough coming out of one end, he has it coming out of both. Poor little guy.
