Six Bikes All in A Row

Yesterday we biked over to the Interlochen school campus to see how Chuck and the boys were getting along with swimming. Christian looked like a fish in the water, and his brother, who is nearly over his ear infection, was having a great time playing in the sand. Chuck wanted to take his swimming test so he could qualify to take out a school sail boat, so we agreed to come back in the afternoon to watch the boys if needed so that he could take his test.

About three o'clock we rode back over to find Chuck, Kim and the boys in a group talking about events, and there we all stood. It was decided to take the boys back to their cabin for showers and resting time, and Chuck could get suited up for this swimming test. We six rode off to the cabin in a neat line of bikers. Two little boys peddling very fast, their folks trying to keep them in line, followed by two grandparents trying to stay on their bikes and not fall off or mess up the line too badly. It was a Kodak moment, but no camera.

Chuck indeed passed his test and can now take out a small sailboat. He was quite pleased with himself. We were happy for him and rode home. Another fun day here with kids and grands.
