On Saturday, the boys competed in a bicycle race, the 5- and 6-year-old division.
Carl: Do you think I'm going to win?
Amanda: Well, do you think you're going to win?
Carl: Yes.
And he did.
Rick was flying, unfortunately, so he missed the first win in what he hopes will be Carl's long and successful cycling career, but we watched the video and celebrated heartily when he returned home that evening. Carl popped open a bottle of champagne.
Pete gave an impressive performance as well, but his was after the race. He didn't cry. He didn't complain. He didn't even seem to resent Carl. He just piped up with, "I didn't fall down!" (Carl did fall, once.) And he drank that champagne like he had earned it.

Good for them! Now watch for the brakes to be taken off Carl's bike by Pete... the quiet ones always cause the most trouble!
I'm just teasing. When they win the Tour De France you can say, I saw their first race. :)
Have a nice week!
