the bike trailer's maiden voyage

Last Christmas, Charles's sister gave us a bike trailer. JC was only six months at the time and it was winter so the bike trailer sat in the garage for awhile. Now that he's finally big enough and the weather was nice, we decided to shake off the spider webs and go for a ride.

I wasn't sure how JC was going to "take" the ride since he has shown a great disdain for his stroller and this is a kinda similar idea. So we made sure he had a companion to keep him company.

We only went for a ride around the block just to see how he would do. He actually seemed to really enjoy himself. I think we are ready for a longer trip but I want to get a bike helmet for him before we actually go on the road.

By the way, do you know how difficult it is to take a picture while you are riding a bike? Very.
