24.78

I bet you are wondering what that number is. WELL...It is the number of miles we have ridden our bikes in the last 4 days. Saturday was our longest ride, we rode to lunch, to Target, Hobby Lobby, the grocery store and back home :) THat one Neya didn't ride, she just hung out in the trailer with Rian, but on Sunday she rode with us and she did GREAT. She rode a total of 5 miles and she didn't complain one little bit :) I am sure you are STILL wondering why on earth we are riding so much, but to be honest it is REALLY nice to ride. We get outside, you can't really talk much but you enjoy eachothers company none the less and we ride to do everything. My feeling is, I commute an hour EACH WAY for work so why NOT ride my bike and get fresh air and tire the kids out a bit if possible.

So until it gets REALLY hot we have instituted a "no car" rule if we have errands to run or places we want to go. We have gone to the grocery store, we have returned movies, we have ridden just to ride around the neighborhood. Its really nice. Rian has gotten used to his helmet and Neya's little legs get her pretty far. Today we had a mishap where her chain on her bike got loose and I had to fix it on the side of the road, but it was simple as putting the chain sorta in place, and running her tires backwards for a few seconds. She was excited I fixed it but I am nervous to ride to far with her now as I don't want her chain to break. Perhaps we can ride to a bike shop this weekend and see if they can tighten it or something. Fingers will be crossed that we don't "break down" before we get there. Haha.

Anywho. That is pretty much what we have been up to. We have some exciting stuff coming up, like Neya's Kindergarten promotion, a secret something in a week and a half, we are going to visit with a coworker who just had a baby, I am going to see Iron Man 2 with the bestie and well...I think that is it so far. Some other things we have DONE besides bike rides or in lieu of, is that we have gone to a recorder recital for Carina, we went and saw "How to train your dragon" and LET ME TELL YOU...it was SOO good. I loved it. Rian is SLOWLY getting better about watching movies in the theatre but since he is not a movie/tv kinda kid he does tend to get bored about 45 minutes in. He is "sit last minute" type of kid. Alright, well like I said earlier, nothing TO great has gone on but we have a lot coming up so stay posted :) Alright...well got to post some pics and vids before my battery on my laptop dies :)
