Bikes are like an icon for all of childhood. Bikes bring transportation, fun exercise and empowerment to a kid. I think riding a bike is a big deal. I can clearly remember the rush of the pavement beneath my tenuous bike wheels as I learned to fly across the world on my blue banana seat [...]

Friday July 4th 2008 we attended the Apple Valley parade with our friends the Hansens. It was sweet! They had military planes fly overhead, at least 10 marching bands and a stunning troop of geezers driving go-karts way too fast by small children. It was 2 hours but very pleasant passing the time with Chris [...]

This turned out to be a great way to grow in our faith, strengthen our [...]
