The Baileys: Family of Bicyclists

Yesterday I got into work early and got off work early to meet Eric at home when his flight landed. I was so anxious to see him after his trip to Illinois for five days. I rushed to my mom's to pick up Jarem and then rushed home and beat him by less than five minutes. The timing was perfect! After lots of hugs and kisses and playing and cuddling with Jarem, we had the BEST dinner! I had gone to Costco and picked up some fresh steaks for dinner to celebrate us all being together as a family. Eric cooked them perfectly (honestly, the best steak I've had in a LONG time) and we feasted on steak and rice. Then we played some more with J and enjoyed some family time before heading off for a family bike ride. Believe it or not, we have not been bike riding together once in all this time that we've been together.

Well a couple months ago, Eric asked my Aunt Stef and Uncle Dale if we could have their old bike trailer that they used with the girlies that was in their garage. They graciously passed it on to us (THANK YOU!) and we took Jarem for his first ride in it last night. It was so much fun seeing him in the trailer and being out as a family. We usually try to go for walks since Jarem loves being outdoors so much but the bike ride was so much more fun! It was a change of scenery since we usually just walk in our neighborhood and last night we rode our bikes all the way over to my mom's house in her neighborhood. SO FUN! Jarem passed out soon after we left Karen and Uriel's house (our first pit stop on the trip) and stayed asleep until we got home. I guess he was pretty peaceful in there.

We're going to try and go for a family bike ride after work a couple of times each week. It was so awesome getting out and enjoying the wonderful evening air after being at work all day. Here are a few pictures from our adventure...
