Newest form of exercise (for Derek and I, not the kids)
I've been looking for a good way to get some exericise so we asked for a bike trailer for Christmas. That makes it possible for me to do something active AND have the kids with me. My Mom and Dad gave us Christmas money to go toward the trailer and requested that we blog pictures of the kids in it. So, here you go mom.
One complaint... the safety straps aren't very impressive. As you can see, it doesn't hold Katie in very securely and the straps connect WELL above her head. It was made for kids more like Ryan's size apparently. Though, you can see that his legs are getting long enough that he won't have more than a year's left of growth before he'll be too big for the thing. Still, they love it.

One small note: we found this one used on Craigslist for super-cheap (which is why it is less than perfect) and the Christmas money from my parents will INSTEAD go toward a different present. Thanks Mom and Dad!

How fun! But I assume that the ride isn't going to be all jerky and whatnot, so maybe they don't really need the straps too badly? Dunno. Sounds like they'll love it! I wish I could go bike riding too.
Well maybe the zipped up screen will keep her from falling out into the middle of traffic when you hit a bump...
Looks fun!
