We had another long weekend here and spent the last 2 days down in Plymouth with Brad's parents, brother and sister, and aunt and uncle. It was a great weekend and nice to get away from our to-do list here at home. Noah of course had a blast and I'm not sure that he wanted to come home today. He even fell asleep on the car ride home which is definitely a sign that he enjoyed (wore) himself out. Yesterday Brad played golf with his family and Noah and I hung out for the afternoon. It was a beautiful day and we decided to take a bike ride along the Cape Cod Canal. Noah has been doing really well on his bike and has even started to ride it without our help. We got him a tricycle for his birthday back in October. He had started to learn how to ride a tricycle at camp last year so we decided to get him one so he could keep it up. He didn't really get it at first but this Spring he finally figured it out and is now cruising along by himself! He still gets a little stuck because he pedals much harder with his left foot, but he has gotten the hang of it. It helps too that we got him straps on the pedals so it is easier for him to keep his feet in place. It is also a great two-handed exercise for him to do because he has to keep both hands on the handlebars. We had a great time on our ride (I just walked of course) and I realized that the canal is a great place to take a 3 1/2 year old boy. He had a wonderful time taking in all of the "sites" including multiple boats, 2 trains, a bridge full of "traffic," several dogs, birds, and of course lots of different people. Noah was particularly intrigued by the man riding his bike without shoes or a shirt. He of course asked me "Why?" and I had to come up with some sort of creative answer. It made for bike ride full of interesting conversation! We ended up going for about an hour and I'm sure it will be a regular event when we are in Plymouth. Check out the video of him riding by himself!

Bike Ride
Happy Memorial Day! And apologies for not updating the blog in a few days! Has been a busy couple of days and hopefully we can finish out the end of the month strong.
