What Boys Will Do for a Quarter

We went for a bike ride on The River Trail yesterday afternoon.

The kids always like to stop for a little break near the library.

There wasn't much "breaking" yesterday since JR told Reed he'd give him a quarter if he'd ride his bike down the hill.

Let's take a little look at that hill, shall we?

I've labeled everybody for you.

Reed at the top of the hill, Kyle halfway up thinking maybe he'll score a quarter too, and JR (AKA:Puppetmaster), safely under a shade tree.

We didn't really think Reed would do it. 

But then he pushed off and all Jason said to me was "this isn't going to end well."

I don't have any pictures of the actual ride down since I was frozen in terror, but here's what the ending looked like.

We started cheering for him as soon as Reed....I'm gonna go with the word "landed".  I guess I could also go with "face planted".

He was a little stunned, but decided not to disappoint his cheering fans. He didn't even cry.

But he did ask if Jesus was proud of him!
