We have had a few beautiful days recently and decided it was time to pull the girls bicycles out of storage. We seriously were pulling teeth to get them to ride though. I remember having difficulty last year with Annalyce (moving to a bigger bike), but Peyton has always been a bit of a daredevil and loved riding last year. This year has been different. Peyton started out timid, but was willing to jump on and ride the first day. Annalyce put up quite the fight (she was seriously freaking out). Finally, after a lot of crying and frustration, we convinced her to ride. I even used the saying, "it's like riding a bike" and show her that mom could even ride her bike when I haven't ridden in forever. Annalyce has asked almost every day since if she could ride (even when it's raining). But Peyton is the one throwing the fit now. I can't believe there is this much
drama over riding bicycles. It's time mom got her own bike and we all started riding together regularly (I'm not sure that is possible here in Washington???).
On a side note, we have postponed our move to Utah until June. We are still hoping to find employment and a chance for a "normal" life again. Both of us are completely freaked about returning to college life. In all seriousness, there were other reasons for postponing. We will continue to update you on our decision.
Last Saturday we drove up to Mt. Vernon for the Tulip Festival. Tulips have always been my favorite flower and I have wanted to visit the festival for many years, but we have never gone. I am so glad we finally made the trip. We walked the street fair, enjoyed good food, and toured Tulip Town. The fields of flowers were gorgeous! I can't wait to have our own home again so we can plant our own tulips!
