So I have to brag for a moment. I might get in trouble for this but I am going to be a rebel and do it anyway. I have to brag not about my incredibly brave, good looking, always obedient, uber smart....the list goes on and on......children. This post is for bragging about my amazing manly man of a husband. This is a picture of Charles with a few friends riding around Lake Tahoe. Yes the whole lake! Not only do I deem that an amazing feat in itself BUT he did it riding a bike that is a hand- me-down, honestly older than he is, weighs more than he is bike. When he goes riding with friends they commonly refer to this as the "cash register" because it makes so much noise when it shifts gears. As if that were not enough he has had to revise this bike and make it a SINGLE speed bike people just to get it to go! Single speed I say. You know those mountains that surround Lake Tahoe? Yes those. Well he went up and down those on pure manly man strength. No help from any sissy gears. Who needs gears? I do believe that he earned some serious man respect among the ranks when he showed up with that thing. Luckily he finished just in time to get back to help me take Brigham to Urgent care. ( I know that I am probably so busted for posting this and that Charles may come in right behind me and delete it so read fast people because this may be gone in a minute)
Charles took some of the kids on a bike ride back to the scene of the crime of Brigham's accident and this time they made it all the way down to the water. These are not all my children. Lauren and Jason Hall were with us also.

Awesome!
Great job, Charles! You're my hero!
Tahoe is so beautiful!!
When we move back, do we get to come along on your fun camping trips!?
:)
You forgot to add the part about how it is 74 miles all around the lake. I would never in a million years think to ever even try that. John did it once and it took him four hours. Boys are silly. But one speed is nuts. I will have to remind John of this story the next time he complains about how old his bike is and how he needs a new one.
Oh my word! Way to go, Charles. Around the lake on a one speed is very impressive! :)
