This afternoon we headed up to Ft. Ben with bikes and bike trailer in tow. It took only a minute to get used to pulling it on the bike but quite a long time to get over the fact that I had not ridden a bike UP HILL in years let alone with probably 35-40 extra pounds on the back. The fact that we didn't check the seat heights on the bikes after Mel and ChaChi had them was a harsh reality very quickly. So, Ricardo and I traded bikes and stuck it out for a few miles around the park on the bike trail. We decided next time we'd just stick with flatter surfaces until we got a little more used to riding. Ricardo was probably agreeing more for me since he works out like 23 of the 24 hours a day (UGH!). Alexander refused to wear his helmet and was clearly hot sitting in the trailer. After we rode we stopped and let him play on the playground...big mistake. Once we stuck him back in the trailer all he wanted to do was throw a fit. But, we made it back to the car with a promise to see the horses. He loved them! The only way we got him to leave that area was to act like we were chasing him back to the car. He was asleep before we left the park. :)
