Busy Weekend on the Road and in the Water

Saturday morning Jason and I finally made a purchase we have been discussing for a long time now...we got bikes! If you know us Jason and I LOVE to bike whenever we go on vacations. When we went to Europe we biked through the Netherlands, in San Diego we rode along the coast one day, in Bonaire we rode around the isalnd. Every chance we get we love to get on a bicycle and see the sites. Well, finally we decided to get our Christmas presents for each other (I know a little early, but the timing was right with a good sale).

The store was great helping us pick out exactly what we wanted and needed. They also attached the bike seat we got for Aspen free of charge. This was nice because it took longer than I thought it would have. Aspen was being very patient at the store. Look at her testing out the helmet.



When we got home we of course had to go on a short ride. Unfortunately Aspen's helmet is still way to big for her, so it was more of a pain in the butt then anything. We stayed in the neighborhood streets for our first ride and by the end of it Aspen had fallen asleep.

Before we headed out I wanted a picture with my monkey.



Sunday after Aspen's morning nap we hit the road. We decided to ride our bikes and then stop and eat lunch. Aspen had an awesome time. She was enjoying the wind in her face and the scenery.



I'm so excited to have a bike again. I grew up loving riding my bike. I would go off for so long just making loops in the neighborhood by myself singing, thinking, enjoying life...glad to have this activity back!

Then last night we decided that Aspen was having a weekend of first why not try out the baby pool. So, Jason filled it up and let it sit in the sun and we got Aspen all dolled up in her bathing suit. I was thinking she might not enjoy it because the water was still really cold, but after about 5 minutes of just sitting and not saying anything she started to have a blast. It was so cute watching her maneuver around, I can't believe how big she is now.







Hope everyone had a great weekend!
