Anyone who knows me know I like to nap.
Sunday afternoons are no exception in fact their the rule!
The fact that by the time we get home from church and eat its 4:00pm doesn't deter me from my nap. So by the time I roll out of bed 2 hours later, (yes 2 hours!) I'm feeling a little guilty about the lack of time spent with the family. To remedy this I take the girls and anyone who wants to on a bike ride around the neighborhood.
Luckily the weathers been nice enough and with it staying darker later it works out great. The girls got these bikes for their birthday last year and they love them. Sydney is ecspecially gifted on her bike. She jumps right on and takes off. We can hardly keep up!
So when Noah comes along its nice because he can help keep an eye on the girls. Aubrey's skills on her bike are a little..um...not as developed as her sister. So I'm usually behind with her encouraging her along.
In addition to biking the girls like to collect pinecones, branches or whatever treasure they find along the way. Luckily they have handy dandy little compartments on the back of their bikes to put their treasures in. Theres also a long pole you can put in the back to push them with..my FAVORITE feature!
The outing is yet another lesson in patience for me because the kids are in no hurry to loop around the neighbirhood why should I?
Luckily Noah was there to catch up and escort her home safely while I ended up carrying or pushing both bikes home. Which often happens when the girls decide their done biking halfway through the.

Shortly after these pictures were taken Aubrey was running to catch up with her sister and fell and got hurt. After settling her down and continuing to ride for awhile Sydney suddenly decided she was done and took off in a full sprint for home.
