It's a beautiful Saturday in Fort Collins. As you can see in the photo below, the sun is shining- and Brandon bought me a new bike as an early birthday present! It's a new vintage-style bike, so now I have this for liesurely rides through City Park, and have my mountain bike for more heavy-duty biking.



We rode our bikes into Old Town, grabbed a bite to eat, then rode our bikes to City Park. I think it must be opening weekend for the City Park swimming pool- it was packed! They also had the paddle boats open, so Bran and I paid $4 to take a paddle boat out on City Park Lake. I love that the supposed "Adult" largest sized life jacket goes all the way down to his armpit. I'm sure that would keep him afloat should he get knocked out by a goose and fall into the lake.



Apparently (or according to Brandon's face), paddling a paddle boat is quite strenuous exercise. Check out the foothills in the background- I love the view from this side of town.

We picked a great day for being outside, because it's been literally raining day and night the past 2 days! Bran's correct height is 6'8". But I was with him once when he told some woman he was 6'9". I was all- what?!?!? Like you REALLY need to add that extra inch? :P

Bran,
Do you play basketball?

Something I've never told you about Brandon is that he's one of those angry tall people who snaps, "Hey- are you a horse jockey??!!" when people remark that he's tall and ask if he plays basketball. So very much deep-seeded anger in this seemingly sweet boy. You guys have no idea.
