Baby Bike Trailer & Uncle Matthews Graduation

Jason found a good deal on a Burley Delite Bike trailer at a rummage sale last friday! We were able to hook it up to one of our bikes and take a long bike ride on the rail trail through town on Saturday (we were gone from 2:30-5:15). It was so nice to get out and ride our bikes with the kids. They like looking at the parent pulling them and watching the bike pedals/wheels move. Its so cozy in there for them too. They can sit in there with a sippy cup and Snack Trap cups with cereal or crackers and just have a nice ride.
Today Jason and I just rode with them around our neighborhood for 20 minutes or so. They both really like riding in the trailer. It will be another nice thing we can do as a family, or when its just the kids and me.


Sunday we all went to Madison, WI to celebrate my brother Matthew's graduation from college. Jason, the twins, and I showed up after the ceremony and we all went out to dinner at a fabulous restaurant. Matthew will be leaving for Belize this week to work at an archaeology dig as a staff member for a few weeks. Then when he returns he will then be going to Turkey. He has been to Belize and Turkey in the past couple years already. We are so proud of him. He was being silly and posing in some pictures. We were telling him he looked like he went to Hogwarts (from Harry Potter) with his gown blowing in the wind. His quote of the day, "I wish I could wear a gown like this more often". lol

Thanks to Jason for taking care of the twins while I took pictures of Matthew. He pushed Celia and carried Nicholas on his back in the Ergo carrier. He went around the big fountain many many times- ha ha. :) You look good, Jason!

  1. That bike trailer looks like fun. It must still be pretty cold there (the weather badge isn't working) by the way they're dressed. I think if it were cooler here we'd get one of those too. Your pictures of downtown Madison are really good, it's neat to see a pic of you & your siblings. It looks like N&C have a fun uncle!
