Bikes

I really want to get the kids used to riding bikes since we enjoy it so much and they're getting a little heavy in the bike trailer. So, I took them to the school by our house for some practice. Isaiah was cruising on Ashley's old big wheel (the bike we got him for Christmas is still a little too big) and Ashley did really well on her bike going around the track twice! She still is very nervous about going too fast, but got the hang of pedaling backwards to stop. Although she practiced this a little more often than necessary, I was very proud of her for sticking with it when she wanted to quit so badly. The next day we took a bike ride along Marine drive with the kids and ended up at Blue Lake to run around. It will be nice when they can ride along side us, but for now Brian gets his excercise with both kids in the trailer since some of the trail in on the road. It was a good thing we had the trailer this time because it ended up pouring rain on us! We hope to be doing this ride again soon, so we can spend more time at Blue Lake packing a lunch, playing in the water and making a day of it!
