Good job! And great memories. You and he will talk about that trip many times over the years. If you look into his eyes real close while he's looking at you, you'll probably see in real small print the word "MY" in the left eye and "HERO" in the right!

Helmets are the rule in my family as well. Helmet on the bike. Helmet on the scooter. Helmet on the horse. (I used mine on the horse - now I'm looking for a helmet for the ribs!)

Congratulations on the narrow escape. Your foresight with the helmets, the FAK and the knowledge of what to do turned a disaster into an unfortunate mishap!
