For family night we went on a bike ride along the lake.
We parked our bikes and stopped at Woody’s Drive-In for hamburgers and fries, and then on our ride back stopped at Woody’s again for an ice cream cone. We borrowed a couple of bikes from our neighbors (they’re about mine and Calvin's age) for Ty and Michelle.
I laughed when I saw the soft, overstuffed, big-bottomed bike seats stacked next to each other in the back of the pick-up. It reminded me of a plaque I used to sell at craft shows:
Age is a funny thing – Santa quits, the Easter Bunny quits,
and lo and behold the big butt fairy finds you.
Fairy or no, bike riding with your family on a warm summer evening is grand . . . especially on a soft seat.
When we got home Ty and Michelle gave us a great lesson on faith and using our faith to bless other people's lives.
Thanks for sharing these perfect days - I could smell the bread and the fries and the summer smell of June here in this corner of the woods. Priceless.
ReplyDeleteI love all the fun things you do together. The big butt fairy has found me. I laughed and laughed at that! I had a Woody's ice cream while I was home. Next time I'll make sure to bring you with me and we'll partake together.
