Julian got a new bike for his birthday. He has been asking to ride it basically every day since he got it. But weekends are full and there aren't really any places to ride bikes around here except trails and I am not quite ready to tackle that feat alone with 3 kids. So today was a no-school day and we packed up the car and headed to Gigi and Grandpa's house. Of course this trip included a stop at the bike shop to fix a flat tire and oil a chain. Then a stopover at Mt. Mikes for lunch while we waited for the bike. Back to the bike shop to pick up the fixed bike....THEN we were on the way! We all love riding our bikes in Gigi & Grandpa's court. It's quiet and big and very few cars drive down the street. Today another kid came out to play too so that was fun for the boys. Julian has an absolute blast on his bike! Rode around like a little pro! I know we will be taking those training wheels off very soon. Noah rode like a maniac. He tried no hands and standing while he pedaled. Dang it scares me to watch him sometimes. Grandpa threw together a ramp for the kids to jump off - that was amusing to watch. We brought Naomi's little princess car and she had fun with it until Grandpa brought out a tiny little bike he found for her. She wanted nothing to do with her cute little princess car after that...I was stuck pushing her around and driving her off the ramp on the "big girl bike." All in all a nice day full of sunshine, exercise, sweaty heads, candy and a little water and TV to cool down.
