I'm a Big Kid Now

So we finally got the kids out on their new, well new to us, bikes that we scored at a community garage sale a few weeks ago. We decided for the first outting to head down to our mailbox and back....about a block and a half from the house. The kids were soooo excited. They did pretty well for their first time. Mia really had it figured out by the time we were on the way back. Wes was having a few issues as he is not as coordinated as Mia, but seemed to be doing alright. Here is a photo of them after the big ride.....














So yesterday we decided to have another go at riding down to the mailbox and back. Mia raced to get on her shoes and grab her helmet.....the anticipation of adventure was clearly in her eyes. Wes on the other hand ran out of the room saying NO! After much prodding, he confessed he was scared of his big bike, so we put him on his tri-cycle and he was happy as a clam again. Maybe next time Wes :)
