Riding in Richmond Park

Slack slack slack.  Sorry, its been a while, and I haven't been all that inspired to post any blogs cause my photos are as usual really really terrible.. but anyway .. here goes.

A few Saturdays ago, the weather was beautiful so we decided to make the most of it and headed to Richmond Park.

At the bus stop

There is a huge shed where you can hire bikes, but obviously Maddie can't ride by herself yet, so we usually get her to sit in a child seat on the back of Matt's bike.  (Tried doing it once on the back of MY bike, and very quickly decided never to do that again... after I crashed with her on the back after riding for less than a minute!!!)  But this time we decided to try out a new type of kids bike called a tag-along, where she is sitting on her own half-bike, attached to the back of Matt's bike.  I was really nervous that Maddie would suddenly forget to hold on, or that Matt would crash and send Maddie flying.. but as soon as she got on there she couldn't stop smiling, and kept telling me 'Mama I love it!', and 'Watch me peddle, see me peddling!?'
