The arrival of spring has brought along all manner of new experiences. The neighborhood playground has become part of the daily routine. It comes complete with little-kid bucket swings and a big wide slide, which Bea in particular took to with gusto. Grandparents John and Eddie came to visit, bringing along Aunt Nessa's childhood rocking chair to check the sizing for twin replicas. In the photo, Maggie is entranced with all the little holes in the caning, perfect for poking with little fingers. And at a picnic in Rock Creek Park for Mark's 40th, the girls tried out their new bike trailer for the first time with mixed success. Neither of them liked their helmets. A follow-up ride this morning at the National Arboretum to try out skate-punk (i.e. flatter-backed) helmets was a little more successful, and the azaleas were stupendous.
bet that bike trailer really slows your carbon fiber bikes down, quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteCute pictures, but we want more walking documentation! Mary and Charles
ReplyDeleteAs the public health member of the family, I want to commend Maggie and Bea on wearing their helmets even if they aren't wild about it.
ReplyDeleteThey're really adorable in their little bike trailer!
Love,
