A highlight of our summer was getting grown-up bikes with kid seats.
Mine was the fruit of multiple Christmas & birthday gifts, and Jake’s was a hand-me-down from the sweet Syvertsens. We’re so thankful.
It’s really added a fun element to our afternoons and weekends, it’s fabulous for taking kids to school, and we’ve even ventured into heavy traffic for the occasional adventurous errand!

Here are just two shots from our first bike date night.
Phil & Shanna introduced us to a fabulous ride by the river, into a village, up some hills (ughh!) and over to one of our favorite cafes.


Next summer we’ll try mid-day dates so we won’t have to ride home in the dark!
