Upgraded Transportation

We had to make some transportation upgrades this weekend for the boys in the family. Tyson hasn't a bike in a coon's age and Paige & Cody had wanted to buy him one "for no good reason really" for some time. So Friday Night's Date Night took them to WalMart where a new bike (and helmet!) were purchased. Cody took it for a test drive in the parking lot and it passed.

Date Night in Lawrence also took Paige and Cody over to Gary Gribbles for some new running shoes. It's not just old age that's wrecking havoc on Cody's hips, knees, shins, and feet. After logging 500 miles on his current shoes, it was time for a replacement, especially with the Kansas City Marathon just weeks away.

So on Saturday morning, Cody and Tyson got up at the crack of dawn and headed down to Johnson County to hit the trails. Tyson got to ride his new bike but Cody's new shoes weren't broke in yet - thus he had to wear his old shoes. 18.5 miles later, he was doing everything he could to convince Ty to let him ride the bike. No go.
