Bike Riding

We have been thinking about teaching our kids how to ride without training wheels. We tried to teach Michael last year, but it scared him. Then the kids saw their friends doing it and they have talked about it non-stop since then!! So, yesterday and today we went to a school with a track for the kids to ride around on. Michael learned in about 5 minutes. Olivia took a little longer, but two days and she has got it down. Isaac just loves pushing his little bike and running as fast as he can. Waylon helping Isaac ride his big bike. Isaac is very cautious when it comes to new things, but was ESPECIALLY cautious after watching Michael and Olivia fall yesterday. He would only stay on the bike and pedal if Waylon was holding the handlebars (yes the bike has training wheels)
Michael and Olivia-go Speed Racers! It is all about the competition. Michael learned quicker but Olivia has amazing Speed!

The kids love their new discovery. Michael says we just need to move closer to school so he can ride his bike there everyday! Olivia never wants to stop, she just loves riding and riding.
