A few minor scrapes and bruises, but that's part of the game, right?
A couple of days ago, Tim and the boys started building the long planned and awaited go-kart.
They had several large wheels from the old lawnmowers that we had to trash. Nope, no babycoach wheels!
Tim had a bunch of spare lumber and the guys had lots of ideas! So for the last few nights they have been working very hard on their chariot.
They finished it last night and here is the maiden voyage:
And here is John flying solo:
Yeah, I found it hilarious.
Brendan was planning to rob a train or something, I think, but they just couldn't get it to go fast enough.
Today they took it out and, well, John ran his leg over, Paul got some sort of injury, I'm still not clear on that one, and Brendan...didn't get hurt! That's a first! He had a few good rides too.
Tonight we rode bikes down to subway for dinner.
I should say the guys rode bikes and I walked because Paul still has a hard time with the hills, and it's a real handful trying to push your bike... and his.
So I was the Paul-Walker. One guy got a real cackle out of that. He was a real earthy looking fellow with wild hair and a tremendous beard. He was driving this timeless model sedan without hubcaps, the window rolled down, and he yelled as he drove by, "It's not right, them making you walk behind! HAHAHAHAHA!" Yep, THAT was funny!Wish I had a picture of him...
We had a great dinner and then went to Baskin-Robbins for dessert.
The evening was perfect for a walk.
I hope to do that a lot more often.
