Anthony really wanted to have a friend birthday party this year since last year he only had a family party.\u00a0 LaReita planned a fun bike ride from our home to the Spanish Fork North Park down a newly paved bike path that practically runs from our street right down to the park.\u00a0 Yes it is “down” as in “down-hill”.\u00a0 One party-goer (Bethany) did have a minor bike accident but was able to continue on and get to the park.\u00a0 We all told our bike crashes to make her feel better. (Hopefully it did.)<\/p>\n

And after the cake (brownies) LaReita went with a few boys to see where the bike path ended.\u00a0 On a bumpy dirt part, Samuel crashed right in front of LaReita’s tire. LaReita couldn’t stop fast enough to keep from rolling over Samuel. So she ditched her bike, and twisted her ankle.\u00a0 There was some pretty good swelling, and will be for quite a few more days.\u00a0 It was quite the adventure!\u00a0 (Before she left the house, she kept having the prompting to find her bike backpack that had a camelbak of water, and her emergency oils.\u00a0 She couldn’t find it, but at least grabbed a small first aid kit, which certainly did come in handy.\u00a0 Another lesson learned in following promptings!\u00a0 And wearing bike helmets!)<\/p>\n

The kids played for about 30 minutes once they got to the park.<\/p>\n

Winding up and heading home:\u00a0 David had to bike home because of LaReita’s swollen ankle.\u00a0 (She took the van back.)\u00a0 First time Dave has biked up a hill since last summer.\u00a0 He came home and said, “I’m going to go die now,”\u00a0 and crashed on the downstairs couch for 2 hours.\u00a0 Carlos, Cesar and Kooper stayed at our house for another hour or so to play with the new toys.\u00a0\u00a0 One of our kids asked, “Where’s dad?”\u00a0 Kooper said, “Oh, don’t bother him right now. He’s busy dying.”\u00a0 Oh the funny things kids say!<\/p>\n
