New Bike and Labor Day

Over Labor Day Weekend we took a trip to Utah to visit Grandpa Tomkinson for a few days.
He had a very special gift for Ryan: a signature Guy LeMond 853 Model racing bike!
Not just any bike, grandpa's bike which logged over 3,000 miles last year in races.....
It is an honor.
Grandpa's sight isn't what is used to be and Ryan is interested in taking over where grandpa left off- competitive racing.
He's already talking and thinking about half triathlons and possible races he needs train to participate in.
Keyword being: Train 
 It's awesome- and exciting!
 Before leaving we posed for a group picture... a little dark but we were so happy to spend time with grandpa and visit.

Along the way home we stopped into visit Grandma Stephenson who lives in Twin Falls.
She is the best organ player. Period.
One of the things we most enjoy is to listen to her musical talent. She also teaches Ryan a bit of playing/finger-plucking too!  
It's never enough time to visit but we enjoy the few moments gifted to spend with family!
