Hyrum had the day off work on Friday but the boys still had school so we got to hang out together with just our little man Jules. We took the opportunity to go on a 3 hour bike ride around the countryside near our house. It is fabulous to hook up our bikes and head out from our driveway and have miles of trails to explore. After the first really big hill I was sure glad Hyrum was pulling Julian and not me:)
Here I am in front of the gate that leads to an old convent in Speinshart.

We rode a loop that took us past the lake in Eschenbach. Here is Hyrum's bike and...what's that? Could it be a naked Julian splashing in the water?
Saturday was another fabulous day, weather wise. We took the boys up to Amberg to play at "pirate park." We were meeting Becky and the boys but they were running a little late so we walked around Amberg a bit before heading to the park. The water in Amberg was quite brown but I liked the little covered bridge in the background of this photo.
Quick story about gelato in Amberg. We went to the first gelato stand we found in Amberg and each got 2 scoops of ice-cream. After just the first bite we realized it wasn't the best gelato in the world but it was a hot day so we continued eating. After walking around a bit more we found ANOTHER gelato stand and just had to try it out...so we each got another scoop of ice cream. Hey, it was a pretty hot day, three scoops of ice cream is NOT unreasonable on a hot day:) FYI: The second gelato we tried was way better...I'll have to remember this if we go to Amberg again.

All the boys having fun on the raft.
Really? Could Julian be any cuter?
We struck out with the weather on Monday. Fortunately I had arranged for Townsend to have a play date with his friend Abby. Abby was in Townsend's kindergarten as well as 1st grade class. Unfortunately they are not together for 2nd grade but they did have a lot of fun playing together at the house.
