happy father's day

today was a special day. not only were we celebrating tyler's first father's day, but it was also our inaugural tandem plus trailer bike ride. we just recently purchased a bike trailer for riley (great deal at Costco, check it out & see if they have any left!) and were so excited to use it that we decided to not heed the advice of the manufacturer's label (wait until they are 1 years old) and instead strapped her car seat inside the trailer. it proved to be a worthwhile risk, as we had such a fantastic time today.



we took it pretty easy and just rode downtown to the mount bakery for a fun father's day breakfast.








we were able to grab some seats outside on the patio and soaked up the morning sun. we enjoyed splitting a cream cheese cinnamon roll (which was to die for!), had some coffee and then a breakfast sandwich.













after our nice breakfast we continued on our way and rode up the hill to church. some of us were pretty worn out by the time we got home!

we had a wonderful rest of our afternoon...washed the cars, had a picnic lunch near the water, took Doc to the dog park then enjoyed some time on the patio, ending the night with a bbq dinner.




















happy father's day tyler!

sounds like a perfect first father's day! what fun to go on a tandem bike ride with riley in tow. looks like she loved it! wasn't it such a gorgeous day? we were so happy for the sunshine to be out! your trip to whidbey last weekend looked like a lot of fun, too. we're missing you guys, and hoping for a chance to hang out this summer, more than once if we can swing it!

We did the same with our kids. : )
Infant seat in the bike carrier. I think once we even rigged up the front carrier to hold Hayden up straight against the seat back (4 mos. old) while big brother Ethan sat beside him!

Riley is beautiful!
Happy 1st Father's Day Tyler!
