Bike race

Well, it is May 1st. Monty is turning four today. I will give an extended update on his birthday some other time (since it is only 9.15, his birthday has barely started).

Before i go on with the story about the bike race i would like to share a little something in the category: "One of these things is not like the other."
We were at the market last week with Bill and Carol and there some little food stands - what would be a hot dog vendor in America. And it is selling the following: (now you see which one just doesn't belong)
a) hot dogs
b) hamburgers
c) escargot (which is French for snails)
Need i say more?

About the bike race
Boy did we have the time of our life! There was a bike race right through our street. As a matter of fact, the start and finish were in our street. It was on sunday afternoon and after we got home from church (it was gorgeous weather) we just opened the windows and let the boys look at the bicyclists and follow cars pull up. We are right on the street, so we had a good view.






And then the waiting game began. The racers were going six loops of which the first one was the largest. There was about an hour after the start before the racers came by for the first time. So meanwhile, the boys decided to test the quality of the "race track". Our road is normally very busy, so we don't let them ride their bikes on there, but this they it was all blocked off, so they had a blast. For good measure they went over the finish line too.
And then finally, the bike racers came by again. 6 times.



Stoney had so much fun, he has been asking multiple times since Sunday if there is going to be another bike race in our street soon.
