Firsts at last!

Two of Max's loves: Sports and Bikes.  You can imagine his excitement in getting to do both for the first time in one day!

We frequently visit Wash Park, which is a mecca for fitness enthusiasts, and Max will shout and wave each and every time a bike (or "dub dub" in Max's language) rolls by.  Last Sunday, we finally took the surrey bike for a few spins around Washington Park.  The surrey bike is that clown-looking bike-mobile that seats 2 or more riders, has a canopy overhead and those "watch out I'm coming" flags that wave in the wind.  So this time, Max got to ride in the front basket of the surrey bike with a bird's eye view for our family's first bike ride.  He was probably just as excited to wear the "bike hat" - though you wouldn't know it from the pictures.

Ready, set, go!

Hands up!  "Wheeee!"

Look Ma!  No hands!

Why does this picture make me want to sing circus music?

Play time at the playground

Later that afternoon, we met some friends at Coors Field for the Rockies/Pirates game.  We had fantastic seats, but it was a bit overwhelming for Max, who seemed to prefer to socialize with the other fans and the aisle ushers.  We knew ahead of time that it was more likely a "first" for us to enjoy than for him, but fun nonetheless.  And the Rockies swept the Pirates, which was pretty great. 

No. 1!  My 1st Rockies Game!
