La Vida Loca!

Cate, Tiana, Kevin and I went biking in Baldwin Park today. It's a short bike ride from our house to Cady Way, and then to Baldwin Park. I still can't get over the transformation of the former Navy Base to Baldwin Park. It looks like a town that was created for a TV movie set, with perfect New England style houses, manicured lawns, lots of parkland and bike paths. There's also a small downtown area with restaurants and shops. The idea is that someone could live there and work there, and never need a car to go to restaurants or to shop or play sports.

We had a very good ride, and went to Stone Cold Creamery, where Alex met us while we rested and had an ice cream. Alex was driving, so he left to meet us at home, and we left to ride around Lake Baldwin and get back on the bike path. We were almost to the bike path when Kevin and Catie collided, and Catie went flying off her bike. Luckily, she was wearing her bike helmet so at least she didn't hurt her head, but she skinned both knees and her elbow pretty badly.

We called Alex, and came back with the car to pick up Catie and T and their bikes. Catie is now resting watching TV with bags of ice on her knees and arm.
