Two Wheels

We love our new neighborhood except for one thing, the sidewalks are always covered with gravel, rocks, dirt, and other construction equipment. Sadly we've had to teach our children it is okay to ride and walk in the street. For this reason we have left Kayla's bike in the basement all summer since she has to go slower on the scooter and hopefully will be more aware of her surroundings. We would have taught her to ride last year, but with moving out of our old house onto a busy street, we just never got around to it. We finally decided to get out her bike last Saturday. It was the perfect day for playing outside, and the neighbors front yard is nearing completion so their bobcat wasn't running back and forth.
One last ride before removing the training wheels.
Look at her go! She's a natural!


Obviously Kayla was more than ready to get rid of the training wheels. She did so good from the first. The hardest part was getting started, but even that didn't take too long.
