Daniel and I visited my parents over a September weekend in Iowa City, Iowa. We also visited good friends in the area, but most of my photos were dedicated to a bike ride (10+ miles!) that we all took. IMG_1974 The sun rises over the condo-lands where the elder Langhurst clan lives... IMG_1979 Jude is first unsure and looks for any cars or other dangers... IMG_1981 But before long she darts around the condo parking lot with great skill IMG_1986 Poor Val is stuck pumping up the tires on my bike to regulation PSI IMG_1987 That looks good...that red dot must mean SOMETHING! IMG_1988 Everybody said I shouldn't take my camera with me on the bike ride - I suppose good advice especially with the narrow wheels of the bikes. Here's a photo of Jude barely winded after the ride. IMG_1991 Mom and Dad pose with their favorite worldly belongings! Trek bicycle diehards! IMG_1993 IMG_2001 Poor Daniel had a mini-crash (just as I was reminding him to buckle his helmet beneath his chin) but luckily the only damage was to his knee (note to self, invent a knee-helmet...darn I think someone already did that...) IMG_2004 Cheered by the endorphin rush don't we look so satiated? IMG_2007 This is my biker hand signal - does it look realistic? IMG_2009 Mom and I IMG_2011 Who knew I could buy invigoration at only a few dollars a gallon I think that's cheaper than biking home to Wisconsin... IMG_2021 Incidentally my parents appear to live in Big Brother-land, with at least 5 cameras on this intersection, I mean how many cameras can a person use?
