What I am so very thankful for, our happy family! Photo by Eleakis and Elder (www.eleakis.com/)
I've never been good at expressing my gratitude on Thanksgiving so it was helpful that after dinner, Big Brother and I came down with the flu. Total bummer but a great excuse to have not posted the usual fluffiness. Black Friday ended up being Sick On The Couch Friday with my sweet hubby hovering over taking care of us. We ended up missing Saturday's "unofficial" Kidical Mass fun ride and my wonderful cousin's visit but luckily bounced back quickly.
I was a bit bummed that it was another missed biking day but the lovely @kyouell reminded me that at this point we really should be focusing on the days we're not in a car, not the days we're not on a bike. That's true. Since we've gone car-free, we've used/been in a car about once a week. That's more than I would have imagined so at this point, I really want to focus on why we are driving and what we can do to minimize those trips. Biking is our constant now, that's the easy part. Whittling away these car trips is my next challenge. It doesn't help that we have access to a car simply and basically free (thanks, mom...and dad!). So now, instead of obsessively tracking our bike trips, I'm obsessively tracking our driving. Once we figure out what our driving "needs" actually are, we'll be able to focus them down to the very bare minimum.
Now, I'm going to do a cheater post and just tell the last few days through photo--starting with the 25th annual Appetite Enhancement Ride, Thanksgiving, and our quick recovery.

Thanksgiving Day
Our rig hanging out with Tim-from-Practical-Cycle's rig.
Cool bikes abound!
The boys really liked this giant cruiser.
The amazing Dossetti family joined us to check out the ride. We all left before we got too much of a contact high from the crowd.
Thank you, Jennifer, for taking this wonderful photo!

Recovery Saturday
You'd never guess he was puking the day before.
Check out his new Wald basket. Very Practical!
He was fine! Geez.
My little hobo baby.
