Albeit a bit of a bumpy ride for our little three-and-a-half month old, she ended up sleeping for a good chunk of the 10km ride out to Pillnitz where we finally stopped for a break. We took the ferry across the river and walked a bit around the beautiful, diverse gardens of the castle before taking the more adventurous (and even MORE bumpy...oops) bike path back into Dresden. The picture is from a stop we made about 20 minutes from home and as you can see Caitlin is still in good spirits! She had a bit of dirt on her after our whole excursion but a bath (her newest favorite thing) remedied that--I'd say we'll definitely plan for more bike trips in the future!

Rolling Along the Countryside
Last weekend we took advantage of the sunny weather by going on our first "family" bike trip. We borrowed a child trailer from friends, strapped Caitlin's carseat into it, strapped Caitlin into the carseat, lathered her up with sunscreen, put a hat on her, and we were off!

Oh, you guys are so adventurous! Good for you. I've always been a bit wary about those baby trailers...but for no reason, I know they're perfectly safe! It's great to see you guys having so much fun and getting Caitlin into such an active lifestyle! You guys rock. :o)
Oh wow! Poor Caitlin! That's definitely a bumpy ride on the Pillnitz side of the Elbe! I totally remember that day we (Grady, you & me) rode it and stopped to play frisbee and then got Eis afterwards. My butt was killing me from all those bumps! :)
Haha I sympathize with Caitlin about the bumpy bike rides...remember the first rattling bike I rode when I was visiting you? :) Looks like you guys had a good time though!
Harding has xanga blocked for some reason so I won't be able to update it anytime soon unless they lift the block on it...lame! Miss and love!
P.S. Hey guess what? I met a friend of yours from OCU this Sunday at church in Liberty, MO...her name was Julie and her last name started with a B but I can't remember what it was...
I really want to get one of those for the ol' bike! Looks like Caitlin had a ball! I had to copy you and use your baby ticker.... love it!! You have such great ideas for your blog! Love it!!
So glad you are all having so much fun together!
