On Saturday morning we packed up and headed toward Zion National Park. A few miles from the park entrance in the middle of nowhere, we were cruising along when I happened to look out my rearview mirror and to my astonishment I saw our bikes go flying down the road. Thankfully there were no cars behind us. Josh and I picked put them on the side of the road and there they were left.
Yep, the bikes I so despertely wanted to have in CA were no more. Alex's bike was taken by the time we went back with some tools to take apart the baby seat. All he talks about now is getting a new red bike with yellow racing stripes. Willy just whines that he wants to ride the chaser (this was the only one that survived...hmm but where to fit it in the car)
As for me, I didn't know whether to cry or laugh so I did both. I know they were just bikes (as well as Josh's transportation..guess he'll have to take the bus now) but mine was a really expensive one. My thoughts turned to what God was trying to teach me with this loss. Did I really need to care so much about some bikes?
I also started to question Josh's brain functioning. What with the backing into a parked car and now this little oops of not properly securing the bike rack I am wondering about him. He assures me that he is just fine...rationalizing everything lawyer like. Blah blah blah. Anyway hopefully we will have no more road problems.
