The beginnings to a fun summer...

This weekend was a busy one beginning with a lot of play time outdoors in our yard, around the neighborhood, our church's playground and Landa Park in New Braunfels. We also had a birthday party for one of Nathan's school friends (complete with pony rides I might add), a barbeque for a graduating senior, a "Mexican Fiesta" dinner at a good friend and MDO teacher's home and church. Thrown into the mix to make life a little more exciting was a Schwinn bicycle trailer that attaches to Corey's bike (what F-U-N!) and as an added bonus it detaches and makes a great stroller for two kiddos (max. weight of 50 lbs each) with a fairly large area to store things like picnic lunches, diaper bags and swimming supplies! We are also now officially Schlitterbahn season pass holders and look forward to MANY days ahead this summer spending time in their incredible waterparks (3 to be exact). Nathan asked why Kate wasn't going to get to go to the waterpark this summer when we got home after getting the passes. He was referring to the fact that we all had ID cards except for her. Of course she gets to come along, she just doesn't cost anything to get into the parks. At least one of us was free. :)

I am completely envious of your very cool Schwinn trailer! I've been eyeing those things for years now! And to know that it can convert to a stroller is the added bonus that will probably push me over the edge to go get one. Especially with Cambria and #5 being 18 mos apart. We got rid of our double stroller after Valie... Yay for justifications!!! :)

You will LOVE it, if you do get one. I think with Cambria and your new little one on the way it would be completely practical!! You will have to test it out at my house sometime. I think you will be pleased. I took the kiddos on our sit 'n stand for a walk this morning and as much as I love it--it is incredibly weighty and does not turn that well. After a picnic lunch outside we switched and took a walk with the Schwinn stroller and it glides easily and pushes effortlessly. :)

That is the coolest thing. What are you doing while Corey is pulling the kids behind his bike?

Cute what Nathan said about Kate not getting to go with everyone swimming. You can tell he loves his baby sister.
