Destination Reached

Last week the Little Boy and I took a ride to the big park. (The park that is 6 blocks way), instead of our usual park that is 4 blocks away. The ride was great, but nerve racking, because we rode along side a major street. However The Little Boy rode right by my side the whole time.
