Riding Bikes

Charlie wanted to take his training wheels off this weekend. So that's just what we did. On Friday, Justin had him riding alone in about a half an hour. They then decided to ride to the store to get a drink. Charlie made it alone to the park (which is about 5 blocks away). On Saturday, after a lot more practice they again rewarded themselves by riding to the store. This time Charlie made almost 1 mile. He's still working on getting himself started. But with each try he's getting better and better. By the end of the week we may never see him again.

Is there a kid under that helmet? And why are your kids so freaking athletic? I don't think I learned to ride without training wheels until I was 5 or 6!

The helmet is large. But Elliot has a huge head and its a hand me down. Charlie rides that bike so much and so hard we don't think there will be anything left for Lucy. Which means Princess training bike. Sweet.
