New Wheels

Baird has always maintained that when you live in the Midwest, it's sadistic to give a child a new bike for Christmas.
"Why in the world," he reasons, "Would you give a kid a gift they can't use for three months?"
It makes sense.  But Black Friday deals were just too good to pass up, and Drew wound up with a bike from his very generous Uncle Brad and Aunt Kris.  We had to leave the bike in Iowa at Christmas - we just didn't have room to bring it back.  Drew was very understanding ("I can't ride it 'til spring anyway), but was getting antsy to take advantage of the warmer weather and try out his new wheels.
We packed light over the weekend to be sure we had plenty of room to bring the bike back.  Drew's had a great time these last couple of days tearing around the block on his new bike.  I'm glad for him the wait's over.
Ride on!
