A Long Bike Ride

Craig was back on the family bikes again last Saturday morning. Craig's Mum very bravely agreed to ride over to Neihu where there are seats outdoors beside a KFC and a big shopping mall. Craig's Mum wore her political protest t-shirt but Craig didn't care.


Craig was in a good mood because he had just finished lunch. He had plenty of energy.


He also enjoys playing with Craig's Dad. Sometimes that's because Craig's Dad plays a bit rougher.


A nearby park provided an opportunity to practise climbing skills.


Craig's parents hadn't forgotten to bring a ball for him to kick around. Craig is quite willing to put it down and kick it if there are no other children around who might want to touch the ball. Craig isn't good at sharing yet.


He would wait patiently for the ball to get kicked back to him here because his Mum and Dad can be trusted.


The return trip was broken up halfway by Craig's plaintive cries to be let out of the child's seat.


When they crossed the last little bridge near home the sun was setting. Craig's Dad tried to take a picture with the setting sun in the background but it didn't quite work.


Craig was quite tired after all his running around. Dinner, a warm bath and then a quick cuddle with Mum was all he needed before heading off into dreamland.

You should wear that shirt to work. I'm sure it'll win you some brownie points at the company. :)

In the first photo, I can see strong likeness between Craig and his mom.
