I've been taking the girls to the park on Fridays as we've been having lovely sunny, crisp fall weather. We've been going to a great park that has a bike path. When we went the first Friday, Julia rode her tricycle and it was clear that it was way too small (knees amost at chin :) ). We all went to Target on Sunday when Jaeson had a day off and Julia fell in love with this red, Dora bike.
After we decided to get it and we were heading to the check out line with it in our cart, Jaeson said..."Oops, what about Santa?!" Oh, well...too late at that point. We were happy we got it in November as she's been riding tons everyday and enjoying the fall weather. Julia's doing a great job navigating these bike paths, making turns, slowing with the brakes, etc. We've been going on weekly bike rides to Whole Foods across the street from our house where she locks the bike up next to the other big bikes and feels very grown up!
These pics are from a trip to the park with our friends Sarah and Ronan. We brought Julia's tricycle for Ronan to try. His mom had to help a lot but he definitely loved trying it!
Julia gives Ronan some important bike riding pointers.
When we got home from the park, both girls had fallen fast alseep. It only lasted 5 minutes but was sweet while it lasted!
Julia helps mommy make pie crust for the apple pies while Kate watches and supervises.
At our cooking class, Julia mixes the pumpkin pie filling. 
Julia watches carefully while mommy pours the filling in the crust.
Yum!! The finished product! This is our second year making pies together...I look forward to many more!
