a family bike ride!

samson’s new bike seat and eleanor’s new helmet arrived last weekend so we took the bikes out for an early morning family ride on memorial day! we finally have four seats and four helmets for the davis family! summer, you may officially begin…

living in new york city keeps us pretty active and on the go, especially during the summer when we like to live outside all day long playing hard in the heat. if anyone loves it, we do. we were pretty excited when our sponsor blue diamond almonds first approached us, because eleanor can often be a picky eater.  we can’t tell you how relieved we’ve been the last few months to discover she enjoys snacking on almonds (and has even asked for them over ‘ice cream cones’ as of late.  ok, it only happened once. but we’re making progress!).  josh and i are also trying to snack smarter and healthier so we have been relying on things like almonds as one of our go-to snacks at the house and when we’re out.

so we grabbed our helmets as soon as the littles woke up last monday and took off on a little ride around the city. we had most of the roads and bike lanes to ourselves (thank you, holiday!) and enjoyed a peaceful morning together.  we got off our bikes at columbus circle mid-ride for a break and a quick snack. it made for a pretty great start to our holiday!
