After dinner, we decided to take a family bike ride. Yes, that included me. I watched Chris brush off about 3 years worth of carpentry dust off my bike and I got back in the saddle again. With Maeve on her training bike and Michael sitting on the back of Chris' bike, off we went on a 30 minute ride that included a sun shower and a rainbow. Both bonuses we surmised. Until we got back to our house and Maeve made the announcement in our rain-soaked driveway that she'd like to attempt riding her bike without the training wheels. Not sure if it was the miraculous event of seeing her Mom (finally) riding a bike, but either way, Maeve's efforts turned out to be the best part about our adventure. What you won't see in these videos is the complete meltdown Maeve had when we announced that it was time to go in for the evening. We decided to spare you all those details...this time.
