"Time to start smokin' the wheels"

"Time to start smokin' the wheels," is what we heard all day long. Since is was 3 degrees outside this morning, Bob had the idea of putting the bike on the trainer so that Liam could ride it. Needless to say, Liam thought that was the bees knees. He was on the bike the entire day. The only time he got off was to go to hockey practice, to eat, and to clean the playroom. When we had to take him off for bed he had some separation anxiety.

The above photo is entirely for Bobby. He is so stoked that the bike has Shimano components, and some fancy shocks that I can't remember the name of.

Everyone got into the act today. Mommy and Daddy tried it out, but were only allowed a couple minutes each. That was okay with them, because they are both a tad large for the 20.

After dinner, Liam wanted to get a good look at the bike. He got out a flashlight and spent some quality time with his new ride.

At one point things got a little crazy. We had a wild, pirate, bike party going on in the family room. Auntie Kathleen sent Liam a cool CD by Captain Begg & Salty, a group from Portland, OR. Liam thinks they are AWESOME. While mommy cleaned up after dinner, the boys blasted the music and Liam road his bike.
