So, my mom was here for a few weeks and we played and played and PLAYED! We all had varying degrees of colds and the weather was generally pretty icky, but still managed to have fun. One Saturday I woke up to find that Greg and Grandma had decided that it was a good day for a bike ride. I wondered at Grandma's enthusiasm for the plan, but it seemed genuine, and I'm always up for a bike ride so off we went to the mission trail. Natalie had her first ride in the trailer, and I pulled it for the first time EVER (I am SO TOUGH), while Ella cruised behind her dad's bike on her new Schwinn Runabout. Have you seen these things? They basically create a tandem bike--Ella loved it. And Grandma? Well, she made it to the first hill and decided she would find a comfy spot in the shade and wait out the rest of the ride. We picked her up when we were done.
The helmet didn't last--it was way too big. And she was sitting in a pool of snacks by the time we were finished.
Greg and Ella took the lead on the trail and Ella shouted warnings to me as they rode: "Bridge!" "Big bump!" "Going uphill!"
I eventually fixed Nat's straps and removed the helmet so she no longer looked like a little slumpy mushroom.
Fortunately for Grandma, she had her cell phone with her so she could make some calls while she waited for us at Mission San Juan.

So fun. Please let us know your plans for Utah. We would love to get together. It is hard to believe summer is just around the corner.
That is sooooo like your mom. Cracks me up.
Love the combo bike and how Ella shouted warnings to you as she encountered them. Cute.
