One of those days...(8 miles on day 11)

My camera's broken. Bummer! Today's ride was a simple one since the day was pretty horrendous. Both boys woke up needing a nap then neither one would go to sleep until waaaaaaaa----aaaaaayyy past their nap times. It was a bit of a nightmare except no one was sleeping. Once Jose got home, the Big guy still seemed a bit down so I took him on the Mundo to run some errands. A little mama and Big Brother time. 

The keys for the Yepp Mini from Gazelle Imports showed up today and off popped Little Brother's seat. It felt a bit naked to ride without it but it was amazing to not have to worry about how to squeeze in between the seats and to be able to see my computer/road in front of me. Big Brother and I had a great time cruising along on our minivan. 

Today's errands were to gather up the supplies needed to make Lindsay's Peanut Shell Weather Protector. Just a couple of items on the list--5' of pvc (that was fun to carry!), crazy strong zip ties, and industrial strength velcro. I already had a sun shade from an umbrella stroller laying around. Target didn't have any stroller rain covers so I was out of luck there. Although, the more I think about it, we're not in a very rainy climate here in Sacramento so I might not even really need a rain cover. I am actually more worried about their exposure to the sun. I just love how crafty Lindsay is and her design really opens up tons of possibilities for year-round riding. I'm looking forward to giving it a go tomorrow! 

My next goal, figure out some protection for the Little guy. Since the Yepp windshield isn't working out as well as I had hoped, I may be calling the folks at Zzipper road fairings to see if they have any ideas. They really do some amazing work and I can't help but feel a little selfish as I imagine the reduced wind/bug action I would benefit from, too...

Hows the sunshade coming along? Any more issues? Hope you have got it done- I've been using it for a few months now and no issues yet. I would recommend the Phil and ted sun screen cover if you want high sun protection- its awesome. Pics at the very bottom of the tutorial page.
