Strider Bike
















OK, so Dad dropped a hundred bucks on my new bike after the "guys" at Tryon Bike Shop said I needed a Strider Bike, and he saw multiple youtube videos, and they were on sale at Luvaboos! Luvaboos (hollah!) is our local retail cloth nappie location with other essentials...such as Strider Bikes.

So here I am. Specialized helmet. Lance Armstrong Yellow Strider Bike. Elton John Butterfly Sunglasses.

Let's Ride!

Thompson Beaver














"Natalie likes to listen to...I don't know what his name is...that Beaver guy."

"What Beaver guy?"

"Oh, come on Dad...I don't know...that Beaver guy."

"The Leave it to Beaver guy? Beaver Cleaver?"

"No. I don't know. Oh...Thompson Beaver!"

"Thompson Beaver?"

"Yeah."

"You mean Justin Bieber?"
