Happy Labor Day!

To celebrate Labor Day, we went for a bike ride!  We have two bike trailers, so we usually put one kid in each trailer--we spread out the heaviness of pulling a kid!  But one of our trailers had 3 holes in the tire, so Whit started patching them but it was taking too long so we figured we'd put both kids in the same trailer and see how long they lasted like that.

 They started off surprisingly well.  Winston didn't pull out Edie's pacifier or make her cry, and they seemed like good friends excited to be on an outing together.

 We called up the Petteys (Whit's sister's family) to see if any of them wanted to come along.  We got two volunteers.  We had so much fun with them riding along the Lagoon trail here in Farmington.  They showed us this cool hollow tree by the buffalo.  Then we went to Harmons (our grocery store) for a gelato.  Yum!

 And by the time we finished both kids were totally asleep.  They did so great!  Yay for bike trailers and good weather on holidays!

 Miss Edie smiling at me after we got ready for the day.  She is so happy for about an hour after she wakes up.  It's lovely!  I can even put her down now and she'll play with toys while I get Winston up and dressed and fed breakfast.  I'm loving that!

 And then about an hour later she gets so cranky and falls asleep.  She's so cute when she's asleep :)

 And Winston has recently learned how to fold his arms.  He does it all day long.  Too bad the picture is too blurry--he doesn't stay still for more than a second and I just took this with my camera phone which doesn't have a very fast shutter speed.  Can't keep up with Winston :)

 Friday we went down to Spanish Fork for the day.  We've still got that construction going on and it was good to get away from it and have a little break.  We took Winston to the splash pad and he was really hesitant at first, but then he warmed up to it and got totally soaked!  He had fun.

 So much fun that he fell asleep in the car on the way to Costco.  So we took turns holding him while walking through the store.  He still sleeps with "soft hands" on occasion :)

And to finish out the week, we went for another bike ride on Saturday.  This one was a bit longer than the one on Monday (16 miles as opposed to 5 miles on Monday).  The kids still did great and fell asleep on each other.  I can see many bike rides in our future :)  Especially now that the weather seems to be cooling off a bit.  Yay for fall!
