A weekend of firsts

We're at the point in our family where pretty much everything is a first for the boys, but even Heather & Brian had a couple first this weekend. On Saturday we went to a kid's expo. Some of the booths were trying to sell us stuff, but other had information about local services at least one we may check out. But the highlight was Ben being able to take his first Ferris wheel ride. He looked apprehensive when it first moved, but Brian coaxed him through the initial nervousness from the sidelines. Truth be told, if the boys were writing this they would say the best part of the event was the drive home with two balloons in the car. (We're considering buying them a helium tank instead of toys.)



On Sunday we packed the boys in the bike trailer and Brian pushed them on his rollerblades while Heather took her first outdoor run. Heather's been treadmill running since January. We didn't make it very far – probably only a mile and half, but you have to start somewhere.

Finally, Brian replaced the brakes on his car. After watching a few videos online he figured it didn't look too hard and gave it a whirl. Once he was finished he said he was mad. Mad that he's been paying someone else to do this for him all these years.

Let's hope you didn't tramatize Bennet like we did Nate when we took him into a spook house at Cedar Point. To this day he hates amusement parks.

I can't believe Bennet is old enough to go on the ride HIMSELF!!!Somebody has to tell him he's only 2!
