The last 3 or 4 days have been overcast and rainy. So when the sun came out today, we set out on this.

My bike is obviously in front, a tandem bike in the middle and then our bike trailer. We were out in it for about 6 hours. (JB was in the trailer, Jbird's friend John was on the tandem and Jbird chose to ride his bike) Much easier to peddle the bike this way than with just the trailer. We rode to the school and played for a long while while we waited for B to get out of school. Then he hopped on his bike and set off with us. We ended up close to some railroad tracks and the boys loved getting (fairly) close to the tracks as a train went by. One of our stops while on the bikes was at the audiologist. She said JB's ears got all the right 'readings'. Yeah. (We have our follow up appt with the ENT tomorrow). All in all, Jbird rode about 4 miles!

After coming home for dinner, the older two boys and I set out again on the bikes for t-ball. After the game we were coming home, B was on the tandem and Jbird in the trailer. We were just crossing a street when I heard a terrible crash. I thought Jbird's bike, which was strapped to the top, had fallen off. I turned around, and we had lost the trailer! The bolt had come loose and finally fallen off. Poor Jbird! I think he was more stunned than scared. When I got back to the trailer, he was still laying on his back (the trailer flipped bakc)trying to figure it all out. Thankful JB was home with JR. I need to get that bolt tightened down good because we will end up taking it out a lot this summer. Great way to get around. (Although I do feel like I am driving a small train).

B has his first real overnight outing with a friend this weekend. His friend Tommy is having a birthday so the parents and grandparents are taking a few kids to a nearby (2 hours) town for hotel/swimming and Chuck E. Cheese. B is so excited! I am sure I will be doing lots of praying while they are gone.

I am trying to gear up for a last minute garage sale Saturday morning. Problem is, I can't decide if I have enough stuff for a garage sale. Can't believe I am even saying that! The weather is suppose to be nice, though, so why not!
