I haven&#8217;t spent much time motorcycling or even with my cameras, unless it&#8217;s with my family. We went for our first-ever bike ride together this weekend, since everyone is now big enough to participate on their own bike! I had Monday off, so I used it as an opportunity to give my boys an awesome, fun filled day. Their love of life and enthusiastic joy is giving me a new perspective on life, and I&#8217;m lovin&#8217; every minute of it!<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/pj_bike_14098.jpg\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center>Our two little fellas got to ride bike until the sun passed over the horizon, a term they&#8217;re more than happy to add to their vocabulary. I suppose that&#8217;s because they associate it with staying out late! While they got to go for a late bike ride to bookend the day, I used the opportunity to get in some camera time and capture my two favorite little subjects.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/puppies_14138.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center>Their puppies came with on this trip, posed with the boys, and then provided me an opportunity to photograph something that&#8217;ll actually sit still while the boys finished their ride. Then we loaded everything up in the truck, went to a friend&#8217;s house, watched the stars come out, and even saw a satellite fly past overhead! Then it was home to beds and blankies, one more memorable day in the books. I&#8217;ll never let it go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The title of this post comes from one of my favorite Grasshopper Takeover songs, and it sure is fitting for the way I&#8217;ve been feeling lately.
