The Baker Bustle: First Stroller Ride

After waiting what seemed like ages, we finally were able to take Brinley out of the house. The long winter has made it difficult to even THINK about a stroller ride, but last Tuesday God gave us a little bit of a break. It was still a bit chilly, but we decided to go for it. Brinley's FIRST STROLLER RIDE! Imagine the excitement.... I had the stroller set up beforehand so that when the weather was nice (as it was on Tuesday) we could get right out on the trail, I had Brinley strapped in with a blanket and the wonderful little JJCole "bag" (thanks Great Grandma and Grandpa Hermanson) that keeps her warm, I had the camera and my cell phone in the little compartment on the top of the stroller, I had Roger taking photos, etc. We were SET and was I ever excited. So we were walking along down to the mailboxes to check the mail and all of a sudden a ruckus occurred on the street next to us. This car pulled up and started honking like crazy. We looked to see what was the matter only to see Mrs. Tammy jump out of the car to see us. She, believe it or not, was almost just as excited about our first stroller ride as I was (What a relief.... I'm not crazy after all!). It was so awesome to have Mrs. Tammy, Matthew and Randy all a part of Brinley's first stroller ride. We are so blessed to have people in our life that get so excited to see us and our baby that they jump out of the car and run to see us! It's too bad Brinley wasn't interested in stopping to chat. She wanted to keep moving which led to her crying and carrying on. Poor thing. So we just walked to the mailbox and back to the house, but it was a trip nonetheless. Here are a couple pictures for you....
