Friday Funday

Brian and I both had last Friday off, so we had a day of family fun. The weather was perfect outside, so we raided Mama Cheryl (as Addison calls her, I am Mommy and she is Mama) & Papa Jeff's house, since they have all of the fun outside toys!

First we started off by testing out Addison's new bike buggy that Papa Jeff bought her. Addison was a bit unsure of it at first, but we managed to get her strapped in. At this point Addison was not liking the idea of wearing her helmet, so Daddy took her for a test drive in the alley to calm her down and show her what fun she had in store. Finally she warmed up to the idea of wearing her helmet, since she wouldn't be allowed to go on a ride without wearing it. With everyone all geared up Mom and Dad took off to hit the bike trails with Addison in tow. However, we didn't get much of a ride in, as the weather was in the high 80's and Addison was getting pretty warm with her helmet on. So, back to the house we went.

Next, we decided to take a swim in the pool to cool off from our bike ride. Addison is always up for a dip in the pool! Mom wasn't prepared to go swimming and we didn't have our swimsuits at Mama Cheryl and Papa Jeff's, as the pool was just now warm enough for us to break it in for the season. So, Mom jumped in the car and took off to grab our suits! Finally, we were all suited up with sunscreen on, and all of the water toys were full of air. Let's swim! Addison wore her new wetsuit with built in floatation devices, so she looked like she was suited up in her armor (hehe!). Addison splashed around a bit and played in her Cozy Coupe while Dad put his feet in and watched. We had a great time soaking up the sun on a Friday afternoon. I think we could all really get used to this!

I think that is so cute what she calls you and Cheryl. Kyle did the same thing with me and my mom when he was little.
