This week we have been preparing for a new kind of recreation! We have been talking about bicycling for awhile now, but the bikes were not in Kentucky. We finally went to Nashville last weekend to see Brian, and brought the bikes back with us. As you can see Jackson has been working extra hard on getting them ready for us to ride.
Yesterday was our first outing. I think we rode about 6 miles total, with a couple of good size hills! I am feeling it today, but not too bad. We were looking for a good deal on this bike trailer for little man, but we decided to go ahead and get it at Wal Mart yesterday so that we could get started. We have to wear helments when riding on post, so you know we were a funny looking bunch coming down the road! 
Jackson actually loved it! he sat the entire time and enjoyed the scenery. In fact, he climbed in himself and tried to buckle himself in, he was ready to roll. I couldn't stop laughing while we were riding because it was too cute. The only thing that would make the ride easier would be a softer seat for my bike, for sure.
By the way, he normally only has his paci at nap and bedtime, but yesterday he found one in his room and was determined to keep it. After we leave Arkansas for Georgia, the fun begins as we try to break the habit!
We have been outside as much as possible lately, enjoying the mild weather! I just love this little outfit that Grandma got him.
