Biking

Our family found a new love...the love of biking. Almost every sunny (ish) day I'd go for a walk with the kids and slowly burn off my baby weight. This year Camron learned how to ride his bike but without training wheels. I wasn't up for jogging quite yet pushing a double stroller so I was pretty keen on buying some bikes. Although bikes weren't exactly in our budget we have been making due (very well, they are nice bikes) with free ones! I love reusing things and saving money. I'm riding Geoff's Oma's old bike. He fixed it up for me, replaced the brakes and patched a few things here and there. A few weeks ago we hit some garage sales and picked up 2 more bikes. Between the 2 Geoff got himself a very nice bike too. I bought a bike trailer off a facebook group and now we try go twice a week after dinner. I go with the kids during the day often too. Camron is so good a biking, he'll do 5 km no problem! Abigail isn't a fan of sitting in the bike trailer, I'm really hoping she'll grow out of that. If we plan a bike trip around her nap time she'll nicely sleep the whole way, even better :)

Pedal to the metal!

There was half a tire sticking out of the water, I told Camron it's probably an alligator and if we were quiet it wouldn't come to eat us. He wasn't to impressed and asked to stand up in the tree. He was happy to wave goodbye when we left.
