An early birthday present

4.14.2007 — 3 Comments

Yesterday I rode my bike through the Byer Farm trails/walkway that runs from Pike Lake to the local hospital and thought to myself, I wish I could share this experience with my family.

Last night I couldn’t stop thinking about getting Ella a bike trailer that we could hook up to one of our bike’s and safely tow her behind us on a bike ride through the neighborhood and even the local trails.

This afternoon I nearly sang the Hallelujah chorus when I found a bike trailer for under 80-bucks at Walmart.com! I quickly called our local store and had them put their last one on hold for me up at customer service.

As soon as we got home from Wal-Mart, I just HAD to put the thing together, get my daughter inside and snap a couple dozen photos. Here’s Ella inside her early birthday present.

Now, if these snow-flurries would end and the temperature would rise, we could go on a family-bike-riding excursion!

  1. You will need to put skies on insted of wheels in this weather. Ain’t the snow great.

  2. Ben and Allison have one of those and the boys like it too. Beats the old days and the bike seats Steve and I used. Just watch that awful traffic!!!

  3. YOU Want the snow to stop. Will wonders never cease!
