What a Wonderful Day! The girls were here with their new bikes. Since we live on a quiet cul-de-sac, we were able to let them ride in the street. Mira chose to stay on the side walk, but Zoe was delighted to have the wide street in which to maneuver.
Both Pete and I were outside to watch, in order to teach Street Bike Safety. It will take a few more lessons before we won’t have to watch quite so closely. I am so glad now that we stayed in this house. The same place we taught the boys to ride bikes.
After a time, we put the bikes away and went over to Saint Margaret Mary Catholic Church. They were having their annual faire. There are rides and games for people of all ages. Zoe has become quite the dare-devil, and rides the scariest ride she is allowed on with abandon.
Mira has become very brave as well. She went into the Mirror Maze twice alone. She also went alone into the Scary Barn, which really frightened her last year, while holding my hand all the way. However, her first love was the Rope Adventure, where she had to climb up a rope ladder, scale scary heights, and traverse two Rope and Slat bridges before she flew down a very long slide to the end. I think that she may have set a record. She did this at least 15 times!
A stop here before driving them home, where we got to sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Michele. We watched her blow out candles and ate a piece of cake before heading home.
Don’t forget to wish Michele Happy Birthday tomorrow, September 8th!

One more thing.
We have been at two weddings in two weeks. Last weekend in Cincinnati.
And, last night overlooking the beach in Dana Point.
I really want to write about the wonderful wedding of Michele's sister last weekend, but have vowed to learn how to post pictures when I do that. This is my next project.
I know any men who happen to look here are twittering with excitement in anticipation!
