Weekend Bikes

Don and I decided to wear baby Dexter this past weekend instead of putting him in the stroller for our day of activities. The advantages to wearing the baby are that stairs and small spaces are less of an issue than with the pram. The only possible disadvantage with wearing the baby on such a hot day was that both Don and Dexter got a little sweaty and overheated. We just loosened up the straps and ventilated both of them a little.

Diaper and changing stuff went into the carrier's pouch. An extra onesie went into my purse, and off we went.

First stop was brunch at a friend's place. Brunch was really just an excuse to go check out the new apartment he bought - what a fabulous place! Very well laid out (does anybody else hate plywood buildings with dumb 45 degree angles everywhere?), and EXCELLENT location. Our place is 4 blocks from the train station. His is 1 block from the platform. It's like having a private chariot that links up our two properties. So good!

Next stop was the Bikeology festival downtown. Stopped by to check out the tents and activities, and snapped some photos of a few Edmonton girls with their bicycles.

I am so awful with names. This girl just recently became a reader of the blog - I love her tunic. Blue and breezy. And I think it was linen... I love linen.








This is one of those cutesy Electra Amsterdams that I referred to a few posts back.




This girl looked super cute in a summer skirt.



Finally we went to 104 street to browse through the market. We also checked out this store called carbon, a fantastic locally owned boutique stocking all sorts of environmentally responsible things for your house, baby, and renovations. Don and I are definitely going to be getting some reno materials from this place!
