We've Finally Gotten Around to Learning to Ride Bikes!

With spring in the air, my kids have been coming home ready to play outside after school. Sadly, we have put off one of the best outside activities, riding our bikes, because it's an inconvenience. We have a gravel driveway (who wants to fall on that when they're learning?). Our back patio is huge and flat, but not by any means a parking lot size for the child who is just learning to steer. Another excuse, our car isn't big enough for both bikes to fit in the trunk. Last, our street is just way too busy with speeding cars to risk learning on the sidewalk out there.

So, my little determined child decided one day that she needed to learn how to ride her bike. I agree! Let's do it!
She practiced all day long while Daddy was on the flight back to the states so she could report a creative, useful birthday present for him - learning to ride her bike. Big brother was able to sharpen his skills since he's been a nonrider for over a year now. (I know, I feel like a horrible parent!)
