New Bike! Sunny Weekend!

On Memorial Day weekend, we spent hours considering wheeled transportation for Jadyn. She is very comfortable and proficient on a tricycle, but we began to consider getting her a balance bike as a new adventure in travel.

Near the end of the walk, she was exhausted, and napped in the car before we had a fun lunch in North Bend.

The next day, there was more sun! Mommy, Daddy, and Jadyn spent a couple of hours exploring Magnuson Park. Jadyn loved the ducks, the water, riding on Daddy's shoulders, and the abundance of flowers she could pick.

We are all a little tired here, but it looks like the weather is finally heading toward more normal for the season, and it'll be great to spend more time outside over the next few months. Stay tuned for more adventures with the ener-Jadyn bunny -- she keeps going, and going, and going, and....
