melon

My boy was impressed I got this melon home on my tallbike without tying it down. That wouldda sucked if it fell off." he said. 

I disagreed. That course of events would not suck for me. I would be delightfully entertained unlike he and Olive who would be the pins in that bowling alley. 
I wasn't worried. Olive moves like a cat on her tallbike and he can use the tallbike training anyhow.My boy has gotten really good with the big bike this Summer.

The other day we were riding late at night and noticed traffic on the freeway backed up to a stop.

Olive tried waving at drivers to dissuade them from going on the blocked freeway but she just looked like a crazy clown.

We decided to find out what the snag was (because we are nosy and wanted a useless mission to accomplish).
We went to several bridges and couldn't find what was up. Then we found it. A few vehicles crashed. The collision threw a few cars over the cement divider and into the opposite lane. It was gnarly.
As we stood there watching (an admiring) the city trucks dealing with the situation, others joined us from the shadows.

A couple of porcupines (Punk rock tagger kids) and a couple of nurses from the nearby hospital. It looked funny. Nurses, clowns and punks in the dark watching the automotive version of a train wreck.
It was a trip seeing the damage on top of the barrier. Someone did a rail slide with a car.
Another night in the life of Portland clowns. :)

hiding in the bush

We are in a lot of backyards doing parties. 

When we play hide and seek I know one common plant to hide behind that no kid ever finds me...the ones their parents probably told them to stay away from. Works a treat.
