Not much has happened around here the past two weeks. We made it through Hurricane Irene with no damage other than limbs and sticks down. The monsoon this past Monday night was much worse in the rain department than the hurricane. Evia has been working an incredibly lot lately thus not much time to take pictures and blogging has been sporadic. Hoping that will chill a bit soon.....hoping!
The weather yesterday was marvelous! We decided to load up the bikes, trailer and family to head to the Art Museum for a bike ride into Umstead. The day started with baking lemon poppy seed muffins - terrible way to start the day right? The boys, as always, were my little helpers. We then loaded up and headed out. Everyone was so excited. This was Eli's first bike ride at Umstead on the trail-a-bike and the first one in his new bike shorts and cool helmet (thanks Aunt Cary - he LOVES them!!). Eli was so excited that he wore his helmet in the truck the entire way there. Tim pulled Eli and I pulled Cole in the trailer. They both did great. We rode to the top of Graveyard Hill, took a little play / snack break and then headed back. We're very much looking forward to cooler temps coming up and many more family bike rides. Fun stuff!!
Mommy's little helpers
Ready to go ride
On our drive - told you he wore it the whole drive over!
Suited up and ready to go. The best U23 rider at Umstead!
Cole - living the life of leisure. In the trailer with snacks while Mommy does all the work.
And we're off
Daddy and Eli - we got lots of comments as we rode on our parent/child caravan.
I absolutely loved watching Tim & Eli ride. It was the first time Eli actually pedaled the entire pedal stroke and they were in sync for a lot of it. This one coasting, look at their feet the same position. I totally see a tandem in our future!!
Hi Mommy, this is fun!
Eli kept pointing to things as we rode. I can only imagine what he was saying to Tim.
Riding by the horses.
Yes buddy, I'm still back here pulling your brother. =)
This was so cute to me. As they were coasting down a hill, Eli kept his arms out like he was flying.

Great picture of Daddy and his boys

Mommy's rear view - notice Tim in the red jersey behind us.
Eli got a little lazy on the way back - feet on handlebars, just chilling and having fun.
Post ride happy. =) We were all very happy. Great great family ride!
