Went over to spend some time with Z yesterday and he had his 9 y.o. cousin there who will be staying with him for several weeks from out-of-state. Didn't think it fair that I had provided Z with a dirtbike to ride in his yard and the cousin wouldn't be able to ride, so took a smaller bike over to make sure of size (D is only a year younger but quite a bit smaller and the bike I left for Z was too big), then snapped a posed pic of both boys and the bikes. Had a helmet that fit D but forgot a chest protector. Bike needs a rear tire tube, so will pick that up today and get that installed. Did the obligitory parental permission form and, hopefully today they both can ride together when mom, dad or myself is available to supervise and unlock the bikes for them (bikes locked together on a cable then all locked inside a shed)
While there yesterday, spent some time fishing in the creek with both boys, then took them over to the local restaurant for snacks and drinks, on the way back home saw a large yard sale, so stopped and gave each boy $3.00 to spend; they each purchased a rod and reel set for a buck (relatively new and in good condition) and some other toy items (Z bought his mom a picture clock for a buck).
All in all, a good afternoon.
