To celebrate Otto's Birthday-day (the actual day of his birthday) we picked up an Ice Cream cake at Dairy Queen. We actually went to Baskin Robbins to pick one out, but we were overwhelmed by their selection of flavors, and lack of good flavors. Who wants an ice cream cake made with Praline flavored ice cream? Anyways, we had the cake and then went to Ski-Rack to try and find a piece for Otto's "one wheeled bike." When we got his new bike on Saturday, it didn't have the hitch part that would hook to my bike. I tried to fabricate one out of stuff that I had in the garage, but I couldn't make anything that I felt was safe enough for him to drive. I had found the part online for around $30, but I didn't want to spend that much and I didn't want to have to wait for it to ship. We went to Ski-Rack and Jeremiah was very helpful in finding us the part we needed for Otto's bike. He found it in a box of spare parts that was lying around out back. He fitted the part for us and only charged us $5 for the whole ordeal. I really enjoy dealing with Ski-Rack, Rachel and I got our bikes there. The next time that I buy a bike I am definitely going buy it at Ski-Rack. I keep telling Rachel that I need a road bike, but she tells me that my bike goes down the road just fine. After we got Otto's bike going we went out to the Bangor Forest to ride. Otto had a great time riding his new bike. He kept telling me to ride over the dirt piles with him. We did a couple, but it is a lot more difficult with a whole other bike attached. Near the end of our ride Otto was copying me and riding standing up, he is sure that he can do anything!
