the Schrader 5

Yesterday was busy, busy, busy! We woke up with all the boys and Chris headed off to Dunkin' Donuts with orders from all 6 boys. He managed to get all of their donut choices so we were able to feed the masses. After breakfast the kids played for a couple hours and then it was off to the Fall Fitness Frenzy at school. I couldn't even fit in our van with all the kids we had so I had to ride my bike up there. I needed to anyway, I have about 350 miles on it and it was supposed to be tuned after 100, oops! When we got home it was lunch time. I thought I had until 2:00 to get to Pamela's party. Then I realized that it started at 1:00. Yikes. Ethan ate super fast, changed into warm clothes, and we flew out the door. We were still 15 minutes late! Pamela's party was at the ice skating rink. I was unsure what to expect from Ethan, but he loved it. He used a cone for a bit, but then was finally off on his own. He stuck with his friend Emily that was cautious like Ethan and maintained a low speed. Chris took Will and Noah hiking with the Eagney's while we were at the party. They saw a bald eagle, manatees, and a gator. They also saw lots of other birds. Mike posted some pics of it all. I'm not sure what kind of pictures Chris got since he was driving.
