Kent has a friend at work who gave him a bike the other day. It is nice- an older model, but it is great, and we were very excited. We decided that we should look around at garage sales for a bike for me. This was a someday thing, not necessarily right now. Well, we were in DI about a week later, and I found a nice bike that was a good deal. So, we all had bikes (except Morgan). We were pretty excited. We realized that it was hard to all ride bikes together because someone would need to stay with Morgan. So we decided that at some point we would need to find a way to take Morgan along too. I was telling my friend Shannon about my new bike, and she asked if we had a bike trailer. She said they had one that we could have if we wanted it. Incredible! I was so excited. So, we are all decked out now. We can go on family bike rides. Reed had been beside himself with excitement and trying to get us to get the trailer hooked up all last week. He literally asked non-stop. So Saturday night, we took a family bike ride. It was really fun. Morgan LOVED riding in the trailer. In fact, she loves to just sit in it when she is outside. What a great thing to be able to do as a family.
This is my bike with the trailer attached
Reed and Morgan riding in style. You can't tell that Reed is happy, can you? Notice that of course, Morgan has not left her bear and Foo Foo at home.
Can you tell that Camille isn't happy? This is the best smile she said she could do. We had just told her she couldn't have anything more to eat because she didn't eat her dinner. Mean parents!
This is Kent's new-to-him bike
McCray and Kent after the ride.
Sorry to disappoint you all- I didn't take any pictures of Kent and I wearing our helmets. I know they protect you, but they sure do look dumb. I had a good laugh when I saw Kent wearing his. I don't want to know what I looked like!

So you get a good laugh and we don't? We want to see! JK What a great family activity.
I LOVE that you guys are doing this! We went on bike rides as a family when I was growing up and LOVED it! It seemed like my dad was always getting bikes at garage sales and fixing them up. I think our most recent bike adventure was riding to Provo from just above Bridal Veil Falls (is that Vivian Park?) along that pathway. It was so fun. I have looked forward to doing this with my kids someday. I am really excited for you all. So FUN!
Really, I think helmets are coming back in style. Watch for them next Spring on the runways in Paris. (At least, that's what I tell myself.)
That looks so fun! We always have a lull of a year until the baby is old enough to take out on the bike again. At least we'll be waiting through the winter this time!
M: I like the tough guy picture of McCray the best. He had that same face when I took a photo of him and his bike. Your kids are some of the best at cutest I have come across. We're looking forward to having our family in town in September... -J
Sounds like you had fun. Enjoy the cool up there. It is 110 this week. Your kids are getting big.
I love how excited the kids are; and the adults seem pretty excited, too! Cute pictures.
