On Saturday we biked to the Hastings farmers market - a glorious ride there, and a not so glorious ride back with our 25-lb boy on front and a variety of (heavy) fruits and vegetables on back. Steve and I used to bike there almost every weekend, back before we had Sebastian and we lived a few miles closer. It was fun to try it out again. Sebbe has definitely taken a liking to the bike. He says bike and points to it, and on Sunday asked to be taken out for a ride. He gestures towards hills (downhills) because he likes to go fast and say "whee" with me. We say "bump" whenever we go over a big bump.
After the farmers market we drove up to Canopus Lake in Fahnestock State Park to meet our friends Rachel, Gui, and Sonya. The kids were initially a bit shy (ignoring each other for the first 45 minutes or so) but then started to play together. They ran up and down a sand hill, they followed each other around and underneath the lifeguard chair, they ran back and forth to the water's edge, and Sebbe took Sonya's lead and finally dared to go into the water. We walked in to chest level and then I held him on his belly to "swim", after he saw Sonya trying that out. Rachel says that Sonya has never played so enthusiastically with sand, which is definitely our boy's specialty. It was really awesome to have a beach playdate!
