A new addition

We've been talking about it all summer, prepping, getting ready, and telling people. Happily we can say that the big day has arrived and we finally have added a new bike rack to our outdoor gear.

Andrew couldn't wait to go biking once we got our bike rack installed.

At the beginning of the summer, we got a stroller/jogger/bike trailer stroller.We took it everywhere. The fair, Wheeler farm, the park, down the street to Melinda's house. Everywhere.

Notice our trailer hanging out behind the falcon man.

However, we didn't use it much as a bike trailer. It took us a while to put a hitch on our little car and then decide what sort of rack we wanted. Some might says its unfortunate that we're ready to ride just as the snow is about to fly, but we like to think that it's fortuitous that everything fell into place just in time for the end-of-season sales. (The Thule T2 is cool. Even Wendy can safely secure the bikes.)

Andrew unpacking the box. Yes, it's just slightly bigger than our car!

Reading the instructions

Let's just say that Ben put together the bike rack, but Andrew was his right hand man. 

It took a little more than a 1 minute 33 seconds to put together, but you can see it all from Andrew's perspective in that amount of time (it's worth every second). 

And, yes, there is clapping at the end. We are so excited.
