bicycle diaries

Today was the first day of the bicycle era. As you can see, Kai was, shall we say, less than enthused regarding his new helmet. I may have traumatized him for life.

After a few minutes of riding, he did manage to calm down and quietly rode behind me and took in the sights and fresh air. Riding with him on back is like toting a 30-pound sack of water. Everytime he moves his little head from side to side I can feel it tug at my center of gravity. It's going to take some getting used to for both of us.

On another note, congratulations to Isaac for making the Winter Park High School varsity basketball team, as a sophomore! The next five months will be a whirlwind of activity for him, between schoolwork, daily practices and at least 24 games. Last year's team made it to the final four in the state championship tournament, so let's hope that they do well again this year.
