a bike ride and a chance to try posting photos

Pete loves riding in his trailer. His siblings swarm around him as he points out motorcycles and airplanes. Trains, cows and busses are also items of note. Even from this low vantage point, Pete manages to be the center of attention on rides. Rolling from the backyard, Pete looks up from his trailer and inspects his riding companions like a General inspects his troops. He is ready for a ride and will not tolerate any slackers.

Pete is disappointed to find that Grandma Danger is not in attendance. In an attempt to enlist her as a member of the riding party he suggests stopping by her house to see if she’s like to ride with. This request is verbalized as “Go to Go-Go’s house?” repeated for the entire mile to her house. Unfortunately she did not accompany us and Gal ended up keeping her company in her air conditioning. So, Lori, Pete, and I set out to The Wright Brother’s Memorial.

Here we see Lori and Pete enjoying themselves at the memorial. Shortly after this picture was taken Lori took a major dive from her bike onto the concrete bike path. Although she had a harsh initial smack and a long slide, she emerged with no serious injuries. She sprained her wrist and scrapped her shoulder and knee. Pete was impressed with her aerial stunt. When I was a newer parent I would have been just glad she was ok. Now I’m just glad it wasn’t a major hospital bill.
