I had a blast earlier today. I went to the lake with my cousins, aunt and uncle, my sis and her two kids and my parents. It was the first time I had been in public in a bathing suit since surgery. And... the bathing suit was a little big so I still wore a shirt to cover up. But I played in the water with my niece and while she was on a boogie board paddling to the yellow bouys, I swam next to her -- I mean, she is only 5 (but will probably take after her aunt and be a swimmer when she gets older- I think I was 7 when I started swim team). When we got back, my nephew and younger cousin decided to attack me with sand and would get a handful of wet sand from the lake and put it on my shirt... I just let them. So, before I got out of the water, I grabbed a handful of sand from the lake and rubbed it in my nephew's hair like it was shampoo. He was not expecting it, it was hysterical.
Tomorrow I am going to re-learn how to ride a bike. It's only been 2 years, but still, that's long enough. I wonder if the 70 pounds less will make a difference. Never mind that it literally is a little kid's bike and $50 at WalMart. I'll have to get a picture of it and post it, maybe I can borrow mom's camera. :)

Indeed, it sounds like fun.
*grin* sometimes you get what you pay for... my $50 bike from Walmart? The back tire exploded... I kind of have to laugh...
I'm just like you, it has been quite a while for me too. As a kid, I used to ride my bike from the time I came home (after homework) till I had to go home for dinner. I miss those days.
As for the tire. I'm sure you can replace that. I think that after it hasn't been used, well it's just like anything else. It has probably aged a bit and the rubber was weak.
I'm going to try to look for a bike at a yard sale. They usually run pretty low. Don't they?
I'm not sure what bikes normally run, but thought $50 was sufficient for my needs. I think the bike rack I got as a gift is more expensive than the bike itself. ha ha
