When we first got to the island we decided we would get Erick a bike to get to and from school. We went to the hardware store and looked at ALL the bikes. They had mountain bikes, beach cruiser bikes, and these little BMX bikes. It appeared that the BMX bike was the cheapest at $195.00!!!! Plus Erick was so excited thinking about being able to pump the kids on the pegs, and of course they were excited about that as well. So we bought the bike and got it home. Erick took the kids for a few rides and had a great time. On Monday when he rode it to school, he come home and said it wasn't going to work. Apparently he is a little big for the BMX! So we took it back to the hardware store and got the mountain bike. It was marked at $255.00. So we were prepared to pay the extra $60.00. Well when Erick gets up to the counter they charge him $2.11. We thought we had just made a huge deal. However, the bike would be delivered on Monday. So come Monday the guy brings the bike and an envelope with $30.00 in it and said we had been over charged. We are not really sure what was going on with the whole situation even still, but we ended up getting the better bike and spending even less than we thought we were going to spend when we were getting the cheapest bike they had????
Notice how Erick gets ready for school. He has his school back on one side and his tennis bag on the other!!!!
