One of the first things in getting set up here in Madison was getting bikes. Having one car to get around and loads of bike paths around us, bikes are a necessity. So Day 1, we got bikes for the kids. They were pretty excited to get new bikes for the summer here. Only trouble is there is weather here. Like rain and thunderstorm weather. And humidity. So some days our "something funs" may just be biking down in our parking garage.
Funny story - as we were coming home from our errands, I was asking Kyle and Emily for help carrying everything up to our apartment. And describing how when we live in an apartment, it's harder to get things inside because we have to carry it upstairs to our place, rather than just into our house. Now we have an elevator and multiple trips that are trips, not just runs in and out. Much more effort. Then Emily geniously pipes up, "We are like Curious George! He lives in an apartment! And so do we now! One time when it was the Man in the Yellow Hat's birthday, George had a hard time carrying everything upstairs too! So we are monkeys just like George!" Yes, we are monkeys!
The following day, we decided we should just get out and bike, rain or no rain. We can dress for the weather. Kyle got a new monkey poncho. Emily has an adorable pink rain coat. Clearly, Kyle was super excited about his poncho.
