You think:

What would be fun for a Friday evening?
Taking everyone bike riding on the Bob Jones trail.

SO:

You load the car-
1. Put bike rack on car
2. Load 3 bikes and trail-a-bike
3. Load bike trailer
4. Load Matteo's bike seat
5. Load5 helmets

Wait for daddy to get home

Then load the people in car:
Which entitles buckling 3 of your 4 children in car seats
Snacks, diaper bag, water, etc.

Drive to the Bob Jones Trail

Unload Bikes
(Reverse previous list of load bikes)

Begin hooking up the trail-a-bike and bike trailer

Hear a weird noise in the car

AND

Your two-year-old pukes.

Yes pukes

Right there in his car seat.

All over.

SO:

You unhook the trailer and the trail-a-bike
Load all the bikes back on the rack

While:

You do your best to remove the puke from the car seat
Clean up the Two-Year-Old
(good thing you brought a new pack of wipes and those nifty trash bags for your diaper bag that are meant for dirty diapers but you use them for so many other things.)

Then:

You drive home with all the windows open
Praying your child doesn't puke again
Thinking about how you have to disassemble the britax car seat to clean it.


Knowing you would do it all over again
