Fun in the Fountains!

We had a fun weekend, as we decided to buy a bike seat for Madeline and take her out for a few spins. For her inaugural ride, we went downtown to Discovery Green and let her play in the fountains for the first time. We were a bit concerned how she would do in her new seat while wearing a helmet, but when she fell asleep 10 minutes into the ride, we figured she must like it alright! At the park, she was a bit apprehensive about the fountains at first, but quickly got the hang of things and had a great time splashing to and fro. We had dinner before pedaling home watching the sunset.

This morning, we took her for another ride to grab breakfast. She was much more relaxed and didn't protest when we put the helmet on. She had quite a few giggles as we pedaled to breakfast. You could almost hear her saying, "Faster, daddy, faster!" (It won't be long!) She once again fell asleep on the way home. We certainly didn't get as many miles in as we used to, but it was sure fun to get out on the bikes again! Here's hoping for many more rides in our future!

All that splashing makes a girl thirsty

Now she's really getting into it!


Happy girl is home again!
