Big Bike Fun: Our First Yuba Adventure

A week removed from Brooke's surgery and with our new-to-us Yuba Mundo Lux nearly assembled we were ready for an adventure.

Also all the snow had mostly melted and the roads were finally clear.


First I had to put on the tow package running boards. When buying a bike off eBay it's bound to be a little weird. The mounting holes had been drilled out, so I needed some washers and longer screws.

So I went to Guse's and picked up the right parts or so I thought.

The screw bolts weren't long enough, so I went back and double checked this time.

Meanwhile I finished putting together my baby photo album. 

Meadow was busy playing with the neighbor kids.

Eventually we were ready to go. With the Yuba tow package you can drag along your kiddos bike. It's interesting how it doesn't tug the bike like a trailer.

Look Theo finally has teeth.


All aboard.

Too bad there's not a spot for me.

I love falling in love with the city all over again and that our kiddos will grow up in a big city.

And hopefully they will love biking as much as we do.


When we got down to the Midtown Greenway we let Meadow take her bike for a spin.
Because of the nice weather the Greenway was packed.


We stayed mostly in the walking lane.

Momma's really good at riding at Meadow's pace.



Meadow was ready for some tamale's from La Loma at the Midtown Global Market.

I opted for a burrito.

I'm still on soft foods and not big bites. I was jealous of Scott's burritos.

We were planning to leave, but decided to try East Lake Brewery. I know we are really behind on the new places to eat and drink.

Mostly because I hadn't been drinking much the past 2 years with having a baby, we've been hitting up a lot of breweries lately.


I can see us going here a lot during summer bike rides.

Meadow mysteriously wasn't drinking her root beer. It turns out she was getting sick.


Meadow wasn't up for riding, so I towed her bike back.


The Yuba Mundo is such a game changer. None of the tugging that makes towing a trailer hell. This is just fun to ride.

Theo is always looking back for his Mama.

I kind of feel like a superhero.

A passing rider even made a similar comment.

We promised Meadow a playground, so we did.

I just love these new swings. I wish these were around when Meadow was a baby.

Theo was having a blast. It's been a long time since he's swung.

A little girl wanted to swing with Theo, so we let her. It was so cute.

I thought the playground would be packed, but it was mostly empty.

My little dude already loves biking.

Then I gave it a try. I'm not used to having a bike with gears, especially 24 like this one. I need to practice a bit more.

We ended up taking it into Farmstead Bike Shop for a tuneup. It already rode pretty good, but now it's riding like a charm.

We ended our perfect city Saturday with game of Candyland back at the condo. Life's good.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast.   Scott added granola to his oatmeal.  The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it.   Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof.  Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

Work Trip: Scott Goes to Florida

As I mentioned in the last post, I had a job down in Florida at the tail end of the week. Daytona Beach to be precise.    I proposed the whole family tag along, but they did not like the idea of Florida in the Summer. Anyways, after my shoot I checked Ormond Beach just to the north of Daytona. Theo is allergic to the sun and I knew he would hate going.  If there wasn't four lanes of busy traffic, this town would be great.

4th of July 2025: Our Annual Romenesko Reunion

4th of July, you say? Of course we were going up to Three Lakes and the cottage. I took a half day on Thursday and we headed to the cottage. Scott had to stop in Lindstrom which brought us to an old favorite for lunch in Taylor's Falls, The Drive In .
