The Need for Speed

My daughter completely loves anything that can go fast. Even today as we walked out of Costco she yelled at me, "Push fast Mom!" So, I dashed across the parking lot as fast as I could with a large shopping cart. Her love for speed started very young and was instilled, of course, by her dad. She was exposed to 4-wheelers, boating, riding bikes (Josh would ride the bike pictured below with Macie on his hip and one arm steering...my neighbor told me about it), and motorcycles. No, she hasn't ridden on one, but she likes to sit on them and wishes she could go.

Since the weather has been so nice we've been getting a lot of use out of the bike trailer. Macie loves to go for rides in it. There's a green belt that goes right out our neighborhood to two parks. We've also ridden to cousin Luke's house and the leisure center (Macie's gymnastics class). Josh usually takes her for longer rides when he wants more of a workout. It's hard work pulling a trailer uphill, let me tell you!

We strapped in little Sadie girl and rode down to the park. She whined most of the way despite her happy face here.

She was probably asking me for a snack to take on her ride. That's what the pockets are for: drinks and snacks.

Come meet us at the park!
