Biking

The boys had not done any biking since August, when I was in Australia, so Jack recently suggested that since the weather has been so warm and we had a free morning we should head to our old haunt, Los Bosques de Palermo, with its street closed to traffic that circles a small man-made lake, and ride again. What a great idea!

When we got to the people who rent bikes, Jack was overjoyed to see that there was one without training wheels that he could ride. Most of the small, kid-sized bicycles have training wheels on them, and since he's been riding without assistance for a couple years he is loathe to suffer the embarrassment of riding a "four-wheeler." Quinn chose a purple cruiser that was by far the coolest of the ones his size, and Erin and I both got steeds with high cool factors as well.

After three laps of the lake, a family record, our riding thirst was quenched, so we headed off for fútbol classes at Club de Amigos and the rest of our weekend.

By the way, I'm not sure who the young man with that patch of gray hair is in the video, but I'm pretty sure he was in the barber's chair just before I got in it earlier today and that the shop owner forgot to sweep up his cuttings before letting mine fall to the ground...
