As we rode my Josh explained all of the hand signals for turning left, right and slowing down. It was so cute to see the boys (the three on bikes, McKay our two year old was in the bike trailer) practice as we rode.
We rode to a park and let the boys play a little bit, but they were more excited to ride their bikes, so we quickly got back on the bikes and rode on into the fragrant evening. Spring is so full of wonderful smells. Last night was mixed with burning weeds and new growth. I liked it.
I am starting to think of what I want to put on our family summer bucket list. I think I will add some springy things too, like puddle jumping, finding buds on trees, flying kites, taking picture in a blossom covered orchard and checking out the baby animals at a local farm.
The world is so amazing, and sometimes in my hurry to get to the warmth of summer, I skip over the miracle of spring.
Jacket: Gap | Dress: Hive and Honey via Piperlime | Espadrilles: Tribeca via Dillards | Necklace: Macys | Bracelets: Macys, Ann Taylor, Jcrew
Hopefully this year I will be more patient and let time pass as slowly as it wants to.



Sounds like a wonderful Friday with the family! This is a great spring outfit.

DeleteSounds like a great family outing. It's those little things like a bike ride that brings a family closer to each other. Not to mention your kids will always have fond memories of the whole family riding your bikes exploring the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteIt really was so much fun! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI want to steal your dress! Super cute blog Em!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashleigh! Can't wait until your resumes :) Although I am pretty sure that after I had a baby I spent the first few months in sweats.
DeleteThe striped Maxi dress is great! I haven't been on a bike in years but I bet my kids are old enough ride bikes now. I would love it if you linked up on my fashion link party here
