Today was a national holiday, Martin Luther King Day, so there was no school.  It was a beautiful day outside, so Mimz and I went to the park.  Mimz counted 23 children playing on the playground.

Hannah and her 3-year-old cousin were there, so I played with them some.  We played on the swings and the slide.  We played Hide and Seek, and Chase.  We played with the little cars I brought with me.

I was a good boy most of the day.

Around 3pm, Barbara and GGF drove over to Mimz.  Barbara had been waiting for a nice day to come over and TRY to ride Mimz bike.  It had been over fifty years since Barbara had ridden on a bicycle.  She was successful.  She rode down about five houses and back, then she did the same thing again.  She had to concentrate but Mimz says with a little practice it will be second nature.  Barbara has been thinking about buying a bike so she can ride around the neighborhood with me.

When Barbara told Mr Brad her plan, he sent her a picture of a bike she might conciser getting.... not that she is old or anything, but to be on the safe side.

 She is taking his suggestion seriously.  She is afraid of falling and breaking her arm or leg and she says she can't do that.  She can't run "an old folks home, a day care, and a baby nursery" with a broken bone.  Those are GGM's words, not Barbara's.


When I saw the picture of the trike, my first comment was, "Anna Kate can sit in the basket, she can go with us. !"

Mommy got off work a little early because today is a holiday.  She got home about the same time Barbara dropped me off at my home.
