A huge milestone happened this week in our house. Alex learned how to ride a bike without
training wheels in a matter of 10 minutes.
I’m regretting we didn’t try this earlier in the summer, but regardless,
Alex now loves riding his bike!
We were on a family bike ride this evening just riding
around the neighborhood. A car was
following for a block and suddenly we look back and see blue and red lights
flashing….it was a squad car and we were getting pulled over…on our bikes! The police officer gets out of his car and walks
over to us and sternly says, “You’ve been caught…wearing your bike helmet.” Then he hands Alex and Sean a “ticket” for a
free ice cream cone at McDonald’s. How
awesome is that!?! Police officers never
get the recognition they deserve for all the good that they do in our community and
for keeping us safe. Thank you Mr.
Police Officer! You taught my kids a
lesson they will never forget!

We’ve had a busy week making the most of these final weeks
of summer. We rented a four person bike
and rode around Frame Park on Wednesday and had a blast. We walked around the Zoo a la Carte on Friday
and couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful night! We rode the train and the boys were able to
touch some sting rays. Then, Grandma
treated us to a day at Hoyt pool this afternoon and we were there for almost four
hours soaking up the sun, sand and water.
We had a ball!
