TRIP UP NORTH- LEG 2

After our time in PA, we were heading up to Cape Cod to visit Dave's grandparents. It was also going to be a fun family reunion because Dave's Aunt and Uncle, parents and sister and family were coming up, too. The day before we were to get there, Dave got a call that his grandfather had passed away. So, unfortunately, he never got to meet his newest great-grandchild, but we were thankful that we were all able to be together as a family. He is with Jesus now and leaves his family with many fond memories of his 96 years here!

One morning we were able to go bike riding! We bought a bike rack for the trip and lugged our bikes all the way! So it was nice that we were able to use them at least once!!!


Emma, Libby and Uncle Peter ready to ride!



Ben totally loved it! He kept up just fine!

Uncle Todd and Ben

Uncle Peter rode a recumbent bike and after sitting on the seat for a minute or 2, his pants were totally wet from the seat! So our solution, use a diaper!

A close up of the apparatus that helped keep his pants dry!!! :)

We spent a little time with Great Grandma Joan!
