Today was my cross training day today so I told the kids yesterday I would take them to the park in the bike trailer. My Dad bought me an InStep Take 2 Bike trailer for Christmas this year. Its so awesome! What a work out I get from pulling it. The only drawback I have found is its pretty wide, which when it comes to a double stroller, double trailer etc its sort of to be expected! Where I live people are not bike friendly so its a little dangerous to be on roads, luckily I am able to stick to the dirt shoulder since I live in the county. The park we go to is actually about half a block inside the city limits so I have minimal city streets and sidewalks to deal with. However I did manage to find the only closed road in a 20 mile radius. Ah well, it wasnt a big deal.

We brought a picnic lunch to the park and lots of drinks, I brought my camelbak filled with cold water, a couple diet Dr. Pepper’s, a bottle of tea and two sippy cups full of tea for the boys.  It was 84 degrees out, and this was the warmest day we’ve had this year so I was a little worried about how all of us would deal with the heat, especially my little one since he has been sick. But they both did great! They had a great time in the trailer and at the park and I got an awesome work out today!
