New Bicycles(s)!

It was Bryant's 15th birthday last Friday. He decided he wanted an apple pie (instead of an ice cream cake) for his birthday dessert. Here he is right before we sang "Happy Birthday!" to him.

He also decided to buy a suit coat and a new bicycle with his birthday money. He says he likes his suit so much that he could wear it everyday. With this combination, he looks just like a missionary. So handsome!

Then on Sunday, we were privileged to get to see our friend, Joanna, with her new bicycle. It is a "cargo bike" and when I first saw it I said, "that is not a bicycle!" She actually rode it to church (about a 40 minute ride) and she was beaming! She is in love with her new cargo bicycle and I can see why. She can just place her baby, Timothy, right up front and talk to him as they explore the wonderful world together. (There's also room in the "cargo area" for her gorgeous green purse and . . . at least two or three more kids!)

I attempted to put a video of Joanna riding around the church parking lot right here . . . but obviously it didn't work. I guess I'll have to go the YouTube route (watch for a later post).

She also let Bryant and Christian go for a spin . . .

They might have been a little more wobbly than Joanna. We were a little concerned for some of the parked cars. And baby Timothy!

Here is Timothy after those two crazy rides. He doesn't talk yet, but I know what he wants to say, "MOM! Who are these crazy people and what were you thinking?"

The Fun of New Bicycles!
