After the craziness of this last weekend I figured my kids needed a little bit of a break. I decided we'd have what I call a "free day"...a day where we don't have any schedules to keep, etc. (My girls don't get a lot of those. We always seem to be going somewhere or doing something.)
At one point Lindy, Ellie, and their friend Amy Jo ran in the house yelling, "We can hear the ice cream truck. Can we have ice cream, mom? Please, please, please, please?" My normal response is, "Not today" but, in keeping with the theme of the day, I took all three girls by the hand and chased that ice cream truck down and purchased some frozen fun! Oh joy!
Later on we decided to go on a little bike ride as a family. We strapped Curtis into the bike trailer for his very first bike ride. I think he was pretty excited...there's anticipation written all over that adorable little face! Ian's bike-riding buddy is on his way! Ellie sat next to her little brother and we crossed our fingers hoping she wouldn't pester him too much.
By the end of the ride they were just plain tuckered out. You gotta love it! What a GREAT day!

Cute kids! Curtis looks so little next to Ellie. Looks like they had a great time.
not falling off your bike and bruising your tail bone --- that makes a great bike ride eh!
So cute! I'll remember to avoid the blue ghost ice cream! :) Love the last picture of your cute babies!
I love free days, especially when it includes ice cream!
What a nice mom. I always say NO to the ice cream man. But it really is one of the simple joys of childhood that I should indulge in once in a while.
Your baby boy in his little tie is so dang cute. I didn't know they made ties that small.
Nice ride! That is always the outcome I hope for with the bike rides. Looks like a success! Too cute!
