New bikes

The boys recently got new bike's. Well, Nick's isn't so new but he doesn't care, he likes it just the same. Mike's parents bought Nick's bike at a garage sale and Mike put a bell on it. Grandma and Grandpa kept the bike at their house until Mike bought the bell. Apparently, Nick rang the bell so much over the weekend (when he spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa) that my mother in law had had her fill of bell ringing and sent the bike home!

Jay has had a bike for quite some time but last spring we would find his bike laying around the yard, in the timber, etc...., in other words Jay would just drop it wherever he felt like. We told Jay that in order to get a new bike he had to treat the one he had with some respect. Mike and I watched all summer as he started putting his bike away in the garage and treating it better. Mike went out last week and got the new bike. Jay is one happy 8 year old boy!
