Visit from Uncle Reagan

Uncle Reagan came to visit us before he started back at school, and boy did we enjoy having him. Reagan is one of the funniest, best people to be around. He is pleasant, and actually very willing to help out. One day he watched the boys for almost 6 hours so Todd and I could go running together (let's be honest though, Reagan and the boys were asleep for 3 of those hours).

We went on the local Bike and Ride train ride. You can ride the train one way and bike the other way for only $2 a person. We do this several times a year. We love it because not only do you not have to bike out and back somewhere, but you get to go on a train ride that is the perfect length and the perfect price. Win Win.
Todd pulled Mikey/Roger behind him on the trail behind bike, I carried William/Grant in the child seat on my bike, and Reagan carried whichever two boys were left in the trailer - definately heavy.
At one point we were following eachother a little too closely. Todd was in the lead, slipped off the trail and fell. I couldn't stop in time, so I crashed as well. I found myself on the ground just in time to see Reagan's bike wheel coming over on top of me. Luckily he was able to catch it from falling on me, but still not too fun. No one was too hurt. Grant was a little shaken up, but for the most part we were laughing at ourselves. The rest of the ride Mikey kept on reminding Todd to ride in the middle of the trail.

Later the crash actually had a positive effect. We had been trying to convince Mikey that it was time for him to learn to ride his bike without training wheels, but no avail, he was too scared of crashing. After our group crash Mikey realized that it wasn't all that bad and was then ready to try riding his bike.Another day Reagan and I took the boys over to Kirtland. It is a great place.

We found Reagan's future house. We sure did have a great time with Uncle Reagan. We love you buddy!
