Bike Day


Last night while sitting down with the fam watching "24", Kaedo got a call from his buddy asking if he wanted to ride his bike to school today. Kaedo thought that was a fabulous idea and after speaking with D's mom, a plan was in place. Kaedo was up bright and early this morning, in the shower and having breakfast so he could get over to his friends house on time. What's hilarious about this is that this was his first ride of the year and his tires were flat, so at 8:10am Craig was booting his bike over to Esso to get the tires inflated. The other funny part is that we had to load Kaedo's bike in the van and drive him to his friends house so that they could ride to school. Sort of defeats the purpose of riding your bike but that's what memories are made of and I'll do it every day if that's what he wants. Sterling has an appointment this morning and we are hauling his bike to school so that he and Kaedo can ride with D home to his house then continue on to our place. The picture above is from their first ever bike ride to school back in 2008. Man, does time sure fly. All I can say is thank god for cell phones and text messages.

Man does everything look green there already. We are getting rain today and things are greening up, but nowhere near this picture!!!! Good thing your kids are so independent looks like they are having a blast.

Sounds like Craig should invest in a pump - or maybe the gas station was just the faster plan. I pumped up up all the tires and balls in the back yard yesterday and was harassed by buddies for using a compressor!!!! My thought is it would have been too tiring to hand pump that many things. Oh well, continue to have a great spring.

Ok as pointed out my my wonderful brother - I did not pay close attention to the entire text. However I think it was the green grass that distracted my attention and the fact that I have been using my skimming skills to read some boring reading at work. Sorry for the lack of attention

Hope your bike ride to school went well!

Sorry we missed you yesterday - you were probably outside playing in the beautiful weather.

Hope you have a great weekend!

BIG HUGS TO ALL!

Baba had his bike out too, he just doesn't have to pedal it and the tires hadn't gone flat over the winter.

It's very green here as well, the crab apple trees are in bloom which I can only believe as there is one down the street from us. It seems so early and yet some of Jessica's flowering shrubs are flowering.

Emma wants to learn how to ride without training wheels so we're putting on our training shoes tomorrow so that we can run down the street with her.

Susie and Georges were here overnight and we had a great visit. Georges spent the best part of the day with Jess and I got to spend some time with my sissie, it was great.

Had a rain shower this afternoon but the sun is shining again. Took the motorhome in for service this morning, 99 point inspection, passed everything. We're planning ahead for our trip with our boys. We're all ready to go.

Love to all
