shake your bells

How lucky are we?

The Essex County Velo time trial series route runs right past our home.

Every other Wednesday night we break out our Christmas jingle bells and cheer on the riders. As they speed past the girls shout "Allez!" or "Go, Go, Go!"

We've taught them well.

Julia is stationed as lookout on her scooter at the corner and shouts "Shake your bells!" to us when she sees someone coming around the bend, "Shake your bells!" like Paul Revere (you know, only on a scooter).

Lucky for us Daddy likes to ride his bike really, really fast. So when he decides to do the time trial our bell shaking skills are put to the test. But we're good. We can pick him out of the crowd. When we do...

We shake like we've never shaked before.

Daddy going really, really fast.
