new favorite thing

the Rhodes fascination with motorcycles continues to the next generation...

We are borrowing this cycle from a friend, and many days after work Philip will take Soren around and around our yard on rides.  They never tire of it.  Sometimes Soren has to have a big farewell ceremony when the ride is over because he is so sad to end:)
