We had a great weekend. No huge plans and spent lots of time with family and friends. One of our exciting new hobbies is bike riding! I hadn't riden a bike in about 4 years but was suprised at how much I like it! The last time i did it, i did the 8 miles around Kensington, and thought I was going to die! Not sure if that route it just that much harder (it is very hilly) or if it is because I weight a lot less and am in slightly better shape. Whichever I really do like it. They have built an AWESOME new paved bike trail right in our town. So after borrowing our neighbors bike trailor last weekend we decided to get one ourselves since we had seen one in the Target flyer that seem pretty nice and not super expensive.
So on saturday we headed to Target to pick it up. Then we headed to my mom's to get her "old" bike (which is a very nice bike and has probalby been riden 3 times, it has just been hanging out in her basement) I had a crappy bike i have had since college so i figured hey, why not trade up a little..since it was free. So DH put the trailer together and fixed up my "new" bike. We went for our first ride on Sunday. It was great, we took hte new trail dowtown, ate lunch and then road home. So fun and Izzy did great. She reads her books and eats a sucker (this is the key to a whine free ride it think). She even keeps on the helmet pretty good even though it is still a little big...we got it from our neighbors but I may look and see if i can find one that fits her a little better, her head is pretty small though so not sure if i will have any luck.
Here is the picture of iz in her new trailer right before we took off. I am looking forward to a summer filled with bike rides :)
