Took Xavier to the new bike shop for the kids' day, when I find the shop was closed. Got to check out the new bike rack.
So, we find out the shop is supposed to be closed, due to a couple things via the sign, but since I've started to get to know the owner a bit, he waved us in to chat. Turns out a couple of his employees (both family members) screwed him over in 16 hour period, so the sign didn't quite tell the whole tale. We wound up hanging out, talking, and eating some of the 300$ of catered food they had already bought for the day. There were a few other "new friends" with kids there, and we talked, kids hung out, and had a good time. We got the bikes down and rode around the lot a bit, working on some 1-training-wheel skills for Xavier, and then packed up to head home to pick up Zoe.
I called a couple fellow kid-overseers and we all met at 4 at the park, with 3 scooters, 2 bikes, a couple balls, a frisbee, a cooler, etc. After 3.5 hours there, hit up DQ for some special treats, took one of the friends home, and then came back to crash. It's been a great day, and got some time on the new bike for the first time.
