Arms Around Autism

The whole family is going to the Arms Around Autism event today at the Childen's Care hospital then to the Monster verse Alien movie. Hope to get some riding sometime tomorrow

Riding on the trail

I really wanted to ride to Canton yesterday with the group of riders but decided I should get the boys out on the bike trail. I am very proud of my oldest son riding his bike on the trail he stays to the right and working on his takeoff and landing. When my oldest boy legs get tired he says they are barky. We all have barky legs while riding bike at some point and time. There was curly haired bike rider passed me and I knew it must be Tez. Here are some pictures
