New Bike and Old Friends

We spent the day with our good friends from college Jess, Erin, Roy, Jenny and Mr. Cheeks (also known as Baby Everett) who were in town visiting. It was great to see them and we had beautiful weather to enjoy.



After a big brunch at our house we headed to the Arboretum, where the big news of the day was that Henry got to use his NEW BIKE! A big thank you to Nana and Papa for this great birthday gift - we picked it out last night and Henry was SO excited to use it today.



He is pretty good at it! He is still about a half inch too short for it (so, he can't put his foot down and touch the ground) so we have to stay right by him in case of tight turns. Also, braking is still a foreign concept. Other than that we were very impressed by his bike skills. He took a few falls, but each time got right back on.










Everett spent his time walking:



And looking very serious:



Later at the house, games were played:



And serious backyard play began:





Thanks to everyone for a great day, we can't wait to see you again soon!
