Bike buddies

April 18

We'd wanted to take all the Littles on a bike ride for a while and Matt got an infant seat for the back of my bike recently, and we were finally able to do it!  I was nervous about having Oliver Mac strapped to the back of my bike because I still get a little nervous when I have to unclip my shoe when I stop.  I took him for a few loops around the cul-de-sac and felt ok about it.  The weight distribution is going to take some getting used to, but how could I say no to this little face...! 
 

There is such a great trail just down the hill from us called the Murdock Trail.  The problem is it is just DOWN the hill from us.  That means when we're coming home we would have to go UP the hill (and it's a good hill we'd be coming up).  I didn't want to risk tipping over with Oliver on my bike on the way home, nor did I want to walk up the hill in my bike shoes.  So we drove down to the church next to the trail and set up there.  Look at these little people!
 

We had a great ride.  Oliver is so close behind me that he can, and did, whack my back through the whole ride.  I had to stop several times to tilt his helmet back because it had slid down over his eyes.  I sure love this guy I'm standing next to!  Life is always good when he's around.
