The New Bike Trailer








































































Needless to say, Aidan was just a little excited to hop into his new ride. Since we live just a block from the Sammamish River Bike Trail (which hooks up to the Burke-Gilman trail in Seattle) we decided to find a way for us all to go biking together. Sorry Ruby!

On our first excursion, we rode a few miles down the trail into Woodinville and had dinner at the Redhook Brewery. This place is a great place to take kids. Read: it's really loud. So Aidan can yell his head off and nobody seems to notice.

To our dismay, Aidan wasn't as excited to get in the trailer to return home. He cried the whole way back. Darn! Next time we'll try getting out of the house a little earlier in the day in hopes that the timing will make all of the difference. Otherwise, maybe Ruby will have a new mode of transportation.

I was putting the trailer together in the driveway when Nicole brought Aidan downstairs, freshly woken up from a nap. Without a second thought, Aidan rubbed his eyes and immediately pointed towards the trailer and tried to lunge out of Nicole's arms towards it! I think I got the second wheel on just in time before he took a seat inside and sat there waiting till I took him for a test ride around the driveway chariot style (hadn't connected it to the bike yet). I see many bicycle adventures ahead...
