Piggyback Rider Prepping


Photo-A-Day #3808

I took Andrew over to Capron Park Zoo today. I took him using the Piggyback Rider. We’re going to go down to New York City next week for a Skylanders event and I don’t want to have to take the stroller and there is no way he’s going to walk around the city the whole time. With the Piggyback Rider I am hoping that he will be able to stand on the bar as I walk about a mile over to the place where the event will be. I don’t think we’ll do a lot of extra exploring this time around.

He did pretty well with the Piggyback Rider. He didn’t attempt to step off the bar like he’s done in the past. He made it over to the zoo with no problem but on the way home he mentioned that his legs were hurting. We did make it all the way home, however. I think that he’ll enjoy the Piggyback Rider on our trip, we are going to go super light this time. I won’t be taking my camera but I did get a new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus phone from the imagelogger program and I’ll use that as my primary camera and recording device for this trip. So, two phones, change of clothes for Andrew, the piggyback rider and some snacks. Gotta have snacks for the train. I’m looking forward to this trip. It should be a lot of fun.

Rebirth of our Piggyback Rider

I received a Piggyback rider a few years ago and it has been with us with Eva and now Andrew is enjoying it. We’ve been taking Andrew to the zoo with it and people have been asking us all about it.

I got home from the gym and to give Allison a little break I took Andrew out for a walk at the La Salette trail. I wanted to find a location in the woods to shoot photos for some Safari Limited toys that arrived the other day. I got two wolves (would have been so cool if they arrived before the Great Wolf Lodge Trip) and wanted to take photos of them in woods locations.

Andrew does so well on the piggyback rider. He likes it up there, too. We can actually have conversations while walking because I can hear him as opposed to him walking next to me and his little voice has to travel up to me. He does have the annoying habit of stepping off the bar whenever he’s all done riding. But, for the most part he rides really well.
