Hot, bumpy ride

Now that Henry seems to actually enjoy wearing his helmet, I got the bike trailer out.  Yesterday didn't work out.  I wanted to get up early to try it out, but by the time I got up and had some coffee, the sun was already blasting it's mid 90's temperatures.  This morning was even worse, I had a Formula 1 race to watch.  But in the middle of the day I went outside and added a rolled up towel to the trailer so his neck has something to rest on while he's wearing the helmet.  Later, Julie was going to take Henry out to play so we decided to have him sit in it to see if I got the towel right.  He actually enjoyed sitting there.  So, despite it still being above 90 in the late afternoon, I connected the trailer to my bike and we rode for a few blocks around the neighborhood.  Henry was almost completely silent during the ride.  Hopefully this means we can soon take longer rides together, and maybe go to the grocery store for more than one bag of supplies (all the stroller seems to be able to carry).
