A year and a half ago a church in Colorado donated bicycles to CSC.  The kids enjoy biking a lot!  The trouble is to find the time to take all the kids biking.  This past weekend I took four of the older boys out for a ride.  Melvin, Nino, Argei Kem and Rael had fun.  We rode on a road which follows a river into the mountains.  I chose this road because the traffic is lighter.  And the view is icing on the cake. 

The kids enjoy breaks from the routine.  Going biking is one of those special, routine breaking activities.  While riding with Melvin, Nino, Argei Kem and Rael I was reminded that simply doing an activity outside the shelter is somewhat of treat.  Routine breakers do not have to be big, elborate things which the kids will talk about for years to come.  They can simply be a change from normal, everyday life.
