Family Bike Ride

Since the weather FINALLY decided to be nice to us, we decided to break out our new bikes (well, Josh's is new, mine is just my old one spiffed up) and go for a ride. It took us a while to get started, since we had to put together Quinn's new ride first. But once we got that together, us all dressed up, Quinn's helmet on (man, does he HATE that thing! He threw a temper tantrum each time I tried to get it on), we took off.

Since it was my first time out in years, we wanted to just do a short ride. So we went to Cherry Hill Park, got Quinn out and played for a while, then came back home to put him down for a nap.

Here are lots of fun pictures and videos of our outing:

Helping Daddy put his bike seat together (he kept mimicking Josh, wanting to use the same tools, put his hands in the same place, do the same thing... it was so cute! I would have more pictures, but the camera died and I had to recharge it before I could take anymore)

Testing out his seat in the house while we searched for his jacket and shoes


Quinn and Daddy ready to go!

Poor kid has to have Daddy's bum in front of him the whole time. But Quinn just used it to lean against while he watched the ground fly by

Quinn has never been to a park before (well, he has, but he was too little to get out of the stroller and do anything. So technically, this is the first time he's ever played in a park before). So Quinn had a lot of firsts today. It took him a little while to warm up to things, but he eventually decided to have fun. We're excited for the rest of this season and the summer as he continues to get older, more mobile, walking, etc so he can enjoy it even more!

Sliding down his very first slide ever!



Next was the swing. He didn't know what to do... so he just held on and humored us

And the last new thing to try out was his favorite, probably because it involved something he is now a pro at: crawling!


The little booger wouldn't come to me all the way. He found something poking up through the bottom and kept getting distracted...
