Nancy was out of town for a couple of days and I got to be the Twins chauffeur in her absence. The twins ride in to school in the morning and back home at around noon weekdays. On cold days they get a warm water bottle each. On really cold days they get an extra “foot” water bottle.. Fortunately (or unfortunately, as alas no skiing) those days are behind us at least until late fall.
Being the twins chafferer means I wake them up at 7:15 or so, get them bundled up, then stuff them into their chariot outside the house.
The view from the twin’s perspective – the sun is just cresting the hill and is shining our trail, but alas not reached our house yet.
The twins then are pushed down the trail out to the parking lot were my bike awaites.
They then get hooked up, and enjoy the nice 20 minute ride to school while napping and sometime eating.
I drop the twins off for school, then head back out to deal with my morning activities (mainly working). Once lunch time rolls around I pick them up again, and they enjoy their lunch while pedaling home.
On the way home we often stop at UAF’s experimental farm. Right near the road there is several fenced enclosures that house reindeer, including some with this years calves. The twins like to stop here and check on the baby reindeer..
After this stop its a quick ride home, and then the twins are marched off to the house so they can get their nap started.
Life is good when you are three and three quarters!
