Really, I am just realizing as I go through pictures from our trip that I was not such a great photographer and only got a few good pictures from the Clark family reunion. So what it really boils down to is that I am stalling so that I can hopefully receive the DVD that my FIL makes everyone of everybody's collective pictures...so that I can snag a few off of there to add to my post. My pictures just don't do it justice. :)
So in the meantime, I will show you what we have been doing in the meantime.
Mostly, a whole lot of this...
That's right. After our trip we decided to splurge and we bought ourselves some bikes and a trailer to pull Miley in. To say that she loves it is an understatment. And Cameron and I are enjoying it too. It is the perfect way to kill some time in that dreaded downtime between dinner and bedtime (how many times can I say "time" in one sentence??), when we are usually wondering what to do with ourselves. We have gone every night since we have gotten them, and have made a couple of day rides as well on the weekends, stopping to have picnics.
I figure it is a win-win-win. We get to spend time together as a family, we are having fun, and we get some exercise, all rolled into one. What is there not to love about it??
And yes, it is a little late in the summer to be making a purchase like this, but we have nice falls up here, so we figured, why not?
Anyway, we have been keeping busy and trying to enjoy the nice weather while we still can. You know summer is over when my blogging starts to pick up again... :)

I am totally jealous. I have been wanting to make those same purchases. :) What kind of bikes and bike trailer did you get? I might have to email you whenever we decide to splurge and get them. I am so glad that Miley likes it. And I am glad we are not the only ones that have trouble coming up with things to do before bedtime. :)
Love it! Isn't it so much fun. Believe it or not, we did this all the time in Florida with the dogs! We'd tie Cheyenne and Gypsy onto the bike trailer so when they were at full length of their leash they were just to Adam's legs and couldn't get in his way in front. We'd let Harvey and Frodo just run off leash behind us. It was so fun, we loved it along with kids and dogs! We were a sight to see and got a lot of laughs as we ride by! Glad you guys invested in it. Miss you guys already. Hope you are feeling good.
Great idea! It looks like a wonderful purchase.
And Wendy, you look FANTASTIC!
Love the bikes. And I'm wondering why you're still not looking pregnant???
I'm waiting for that disc too :) I didn't even take my camera out the entire time we were there because there were so many others around :) Hopefully we get them soon.
PS. We just got our bikes tuned up too and are having fun with them!
I am glad you guys finally splurged... I know you have been wanting to buy bikes and a trailer for a while now! Your time spent as a family and Miley's happiness really are priceless! Good thing you guys still have a few months to enjoy biking.
And how great that Miley will (happily) wear her helmet... we can barely get Bode to keep his seatbelt on!
So totally jealous! When we lived in MN I always thought it would be so awesome to have bikes and a trailer. There are so many gorgeous trails out there and you're right, perfect form of family togetherness + exercise! Such a great purchase, glad you guys are loving it!
