For weeks I tried to convince Julie that we should buy her a bike and get bike seats for the kids to ride in. I tried to paint pictures in her head of idyllic cruises down peaceful roads, with the kids taking in all the scenery that Mother Nature had to offer. She finally relented just before Father's Day, so that morning seemed like a good time to assemble and attach the bike trailer.
The trailer is a structure with an opening, so that means that the little man must climb in to have a look around. (Our living room furniture is arranged so there is a cavity between the ends of two couches pushed together, and Ian loves it in there.) He found some belt buckles in there to play with, which he loves to do almost as much as his sister.
As soon as the camera came out to take pictures of Ian, Jocelyn was front and center ready to ham it up. He is apparently not impressed with her attempt to steal the spotlight.
As you can see, we ended up using a child seat between my knees for Ian and attached the trailer to my bike for Jocelyn, since the trailer was not big enough for both of them. So apparently those pretty pictures I painted in Julie's head involved me playing the role of rickshaw driver (and on Father's Day, no less!). Luckily I at least had some help inflating the trailer's tires.
Watching me take a test drive down the block to make sure all systems are a go for a cruise!
