Living for the Bike Park!

Chad on the yellow bike & Mitchell on the orange bike. These two boys have so much in common!

Everyday this summer Mitchell wants to go to the bike park to practice his jumps and other biking moves. He loves to stay there for hours. He tries to convince me to let him stay there until the lights go out on the park which is at 10:15 pm. He hasn't been successful in getting me to let him do that.

Since we recently purchased a van, I have become the bike park driver. Mitchell and 2 or 3 of his friends load their bikes in the van and I drive them the 7 miles to and from the park. Every once in a while, one of the other moms takes the group home. Usually, the drives are hillarious. I just can't stop laughing at the goofy things these boys say. A lot of the times they talk to strangers on the street or in other cars while they are in the safety of the van. The things they say or the animal sounds that they make won't sound as funny if I write them here. You will have to come and experience it yourself.
