We took off early last week, packed a light dinner, and headed into Chicago for a bike ride on the lakeshore; we rode for awhile, then stopped at a park to enjoy homemade chicken salad on croissants ~
This little guy fell asleep right away ~
This "big" little guy was very excited about finally figuring out how to get across the bars, so he did it several times in a row, until his arms hurt and he just couldn't bear to do it again 
Then we rode some more, and found a secluded spot of lakeshore surrounded by large boulders - a perfect place to splash around and play some more...
Sometimes it's the simple things that are the best things, don't you think?

My husband surprised me with a new bike the other day and I'm just getting ready to go out riding!
Have a great day!
