yesterday, we got out on our first family bike ride of the season! it felt so good once we finally got moving. i will fully admit that after i spent all day saturday outside, soaking wet and freezing in a snowy blizzard (
selling rain barrels and composters for work) followed by an evening of baths, spicy soup, and layers and layers of scarves, sweaters and blankets trying to get warm - that the idea of being outside in the semi-crisp spring air while exerting ANY amount of energy was not in the least bit appealing. but jeff convinced me (re: sulked until i agreed) and we had a really wonderful day. finn loves bike rides- jeff takes him quite regularly. he sits in the chariot and reads books, snacks on treats, chats to himself and soaks up every minutes of out-doorsie goodness. yesterdays adventure took us to a really great yard sale - they had TONS of old window frames, vintage tin cans and
CHAIRS! it was a little bit like chair heaven for me, but given we were on bike and literally do not have a single place to but another chair, i was (somehow) able to muster up a bit of self control and walk away empty handed. afterward, we biked over to a nearby park and finn had a great time playing and running around (he insisted on keeping his helmet on, so we looked like
those parents). It was such a nice afternoon spent with my boys and the perfect kick-off to warmer, sunny days. oh summer - how we have
truly missed you!
