Must Remember

Today was the the first day I ran multiple errands with the kids on the bike.  I'm glad we're easing into this there is a definite learning curve.
Here are things I need to remember:

1)Allow for extra time. I'm always on the late side anyway and when I add loading the kids into the trailer and traveling by human power we're talking really LATE (almost should we even go late)!
2)Schedule. We cannot leave place A and be at place B 5 miles away in 5 minutes. Schedule less activities.
3)Pack the trailer as if it were a car. Normally my car is already stocked with extra diapers, emergency snack raisens, extra clothes, toys, and the kitchen sink.
4)Get friends that live closer (just kidding). 10+ miles away and we had to drive.

In the end we had a great day traveling by bike and car.  We called it our adventure. The kids did much better in the trailer after I realized they were complaining because the seat where they sit doesn't have any support so they cave in to the middler. I was able to role a blanket and place it in the middle of them under the seat- seemed to work. I also put a hat under Luke's helmet so it didn't fall into his eyes. Oh, and we were hunting bear and purple moose so that kept us busy. 
Here a quick rundown of the day, mostly on the bike:


1. Bike to the dentist for Ava
2.Decide there is no way we can get to their sports class in time so skip it in favor of a bagel.
3.Bike to Casa de La Renny to get the most greatest fancy gift we could find for a birthday party Ava has on Saturday (presents for 4 year girls are just so easy).
4.Bike home, grab the dog, drive to friends house for a playdate.
5.Come home, drop off dog, bike to river to walk in the woods to finish our purple moose hunt. We regret to say we didn't find one, but we see lots and lots of pink and orange flying elephants.
6.Bike back home so kids could do their own biking in the yard. Squeeze in dinner. Plan for tomorrows activities sans the car. Get to Bed.
