Thanksgiving Day Pagoda Rides
« on: November 24, 2017, 02:46:35 »
Fantastic weather in Birmingham today for taking the Pagoda out for a spin.

In the mid ‘70s I found my toddler son and a friend in the garage, standing on the trunk of the Pagoda with their shoes on! 

Here he is today taking his two sons for a ride.  🙂🙂
