Eric's Birthday

May 5th was a lovely day-Eric finally made it past the quarter century mark. Because Eric is so special, we started his birthday festivities the night before by going to see Spiderman 3 on opening night. The following evening we tried out a new barbecue place in LaSalle called "Barbecue Boys." It was pretty good (but no Gibsons), and we all ate enough meat in one sitting to fill our monthly quota. No more red meat for me for awhile...

After eating too much, we came back to our place and had Cookie cakes from Marys Mountain Cookies (Eric's favorite place). It was a great evening with friends and lots of yummy dessert.

Eric has been riding a Murray bike for a few years now and it needed a bit of work. I decided that since we will be riding our bikes to work and around town, he needed a nice bike. Turns out our neighbor (not the mean old codger) owns the local bike shop. I found a great hybrid bike for around town and surprised Eric with it (my parents and his parents also helped with it!) Here he is :-)



We look forward to riding on the Poudre Trail and on Prince Edward Island. I'll post more pics soon.
