Sandy has taken up bicycling. For his birthday/Father's Day, we went to see the awesome (and incredibly patient) guys at Golden's Bike Shop. They outfitted him (quite literally) with everything he needs. He's gone riding just about every night after Nate goes to bed and rides about 15 miles. He has his first big ride scheduled for this weekend and is planning 30 miles. I'm so excited he has a new activity that he's so excited and passionate about!
We bought a bike seat & helmet for Nate and went for our first family ride last weekend. Nathan HATED the helmet and screamed so loudly as we were getting it on him & wrestling him into the seat that I thought the neighbors might come out to see if we were beating him. Before we made it to the end of the street, he was laughing & kicking his feet. If this insanely hot weather will cool down a bit, we'll all go out again this weekend. I'm not confident enough to try & put him in the seat by myself yet, so we wait until Sandy is home & we can all go out together.
Biking will be a great family activity & good exercise. I'm sure we'll all enjoy it a lot more when the temperatures aren't in the triple digits anymore.
