Cheesy! Do you think country Levi likes bike rides? Maybe you and he go out for a while and take snacks and water and just spend hours riding around town and then off some trails and have a nice sit down to rest to the ride back?
And then with the kids?? Early on, you have bikes with child seats! Maybe not like the little attached ones like you'd have a dog in (but maybe yes? LOL) but, something like this!
For both kids! And then of course when they're older they get bikes of their own and you all go out as a family.
Okay, that's the thought :)
Ooh hi!! I can totally imagine this 💕
If you have a lot of land, then your house will definitely be on the edge of town and bikes will be a must. You'd have a nice, vintage bike with a basket for when you go into town to do some shopping, and you and Levi would go exploring on all the trails nearby. You could also pack lunch and have a picnic at a nice spot.
Also I love the bike with the child seats! I've never seen one of them before. Levi's little twins would look so cute strapped into their seats. 💕 I can imagine your dog trotting along when Levi takes the little ones for a ride.
When your babies are older and have their own bikes, they'd go off exploring on their own with their friends (Mike's, Hange's and Erwin's kids!). To Levi's horror they'd come back covered in dirt, burrs and brambles and all sorts at the end of the day.
What do you think, @m-jelly ? 🥰
Yes! So I was wanting to stay inside today but realized I was out of tomatoes 🍅 which is unacceptable, so made a quick run to my favorite local produce place. I usually get more fruit but didn't need any.
So of course that got me thinking to riding into town when your own garden maybe isn't ready to take from yet, or you're just eating so much that you need a little extra, and going able to bike ride to your favorite stores for a quick run!
So that has me thinking of the Ackermans and when the kids get old enough asking them to run to the store for some things on their way to being outside playing anyway. You know nothing will happen because you know everyone in town and the dogs are going to be going along with them anyway. Of course they take a detour and maybe spend a little at the ice cream shop too and you're wondering what's taking so long because you really need that sugar to get the pie in the oven! hehe
SO, can we create the whole town? Who does what? Who runs the produce stand, the grocery store, the ice cream shop, the hardware store, the gas station, the pharmacy (Hange lol) the vet clinic, the diner, the bakery, the flower shop and tree nursery, auto repair, the bookstore, the bed and breakfast, and so on! Oh and the school!
I imagine most people have part time duty at one or more of these places!
Hange runs the pharmacy, Moblit works part time there and at the vet clinic with Historia, Connie and Sasha run the ice cream shop and some days Connie helps out at the gas station. Mike gets on auto repair no doubt, and also the diner maybe? Levi helps out at the hardware store and the flower and tree nursery. Armin, Annie and Reiner run the bed and breakfast and Reiner also works in the grocery store. I picture Erwin at the grocery store too? And also running the bookshop on weekends.
AH, so many ideas! What do you think @ladycheesington ?
Anyone else feel free to chime in, we have a town to build!
Oh how about a small movie theater? Jean can help run that!
