We stopped for lunch along our 12 mile journey. 

Everyone has bike that fits and that is made in this decade now. 

And of course more Ice Cream.

In other news, on June 30th Dad was let go from Ulta along with my entire team of 10 people. They are outsourcing our jobs. So that closes this chapter of my career, on to bigger and better things. You boys took it a bit hard, but this happens in life and will make you all stronger from it.

The next day Mom and I went to see a show. It was kinda funny. 

Kevin has gone from wearing crazy different socks on each foot...to wearing plain white ones. 

Its a sad day. 

Nick has been driving a lot more this month now that his behind the wheel class started up. He's getting better and better at it each time he goes out. 

Now that school is out, you guys love to sleep on the basement floor - in the theater area, often.
