Sunday Morning Bike Adventure

I don’t know if it’s the crappy weather outside, but this morning’s bike ride was quite the adventure! It’s nice and overcast, and there were a few sprinkles along the way.  But nothing too bad…although the wind is getting pretty fierce out there!

Birthday fun…with chocolate, parades & cake
