Easy Rider

I feel bad giving the weather such a hard time. So, ok, ok...in between a couple of Jan/Feb's cold snaps, there was ONE nice weekend that we got to enjoy outside!

Ben was super pumped to get some mileage on his birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa, so we shuffled up and down the street on the Harley trike one balmy Saturday.
I say "shuffled" because Ben's little legs aren't quite long enough to reach the pedals. While this stressed him out in a big way at first, he quickly adapted and is quite content to get around Flinstone-style for the time being.


Once we made it to the elementary school parking lot, he got to pick up his feet and glide down a couple of "hills", making me regret leaving his helmet at the house.

Once he climbed out of the saddle and got over his disappointment in the too-wet playground, he and Zoe took to exploring.
"Wow that's freaky Zo."

Ben is SOOOO big!

It was a fun outing - hoping for more like it soon!

Chris would be so jealous of his "Harley"
I think he'd take that over having nothing. Come to think of it that would be a mean sick joke to get him for his Bday in May!And the tongue pic. of Zoe- I busted out laughing. Great pic!
It was great to get out this weekend at the park also.
