Ready, Steady, RIDE!!

Today, the population of 2 wheeler-riders has increased by two! Its been a weekend of 2-wheeler madness, but as of 4 pm on Sunday, they can both ride! Halle got a new bike for her birthday without training wheels, but she is too scared to ride it, so she learned on her little bike.

My ankles hurt, my back hurts, and I believe I have ran > 10 miles. It was all worth it, they are so proud of themselves. Greg cheered them on from the porch. Punk.

Anyway, here we go with Halle. She learned first:

And Jack followed shortly behind:


We did suffer great injuries:

All in all it was a great weekend. We had a lot of fun. The kids are proud and I am sore. Greg is complaining about sitting on the porch swing for so long. I am going to try not to slap him.

Ya want to teach Greta how to ride without training wheels? I'm a lazy mom and haven't taught any of my kids. When we moved in Austin's friends taught him how to do it, I lucked out. You sound like a good choice for Greta:)

Oh, this brings back so many happy memories of when Joy Lund, the lesbian down the street, taught me how to ride a bike! I was fourteen. She wanted me to go to the sev (7-11) and buy smokes for her but she knew it was too far to walk. SO, she taught me to ride a bike.

Good times.

Great to hear from you Big G! Glad to know life is treating you well (other than the foot). We definitely need to get together sometime. Being a dad is the best my friend, but you already know that. Way to help out with the bicycle training... :)
