Is There Anything Cooler than Learning to Ride a Bike?!




One of my favorite mom moments has been helping my kids to learn how to "ride a two-wheeler." We have this great little (little is the key word) that was passed down from the Walls (yes Christopher started it all). It is so little that if you fall and crash you are only about 1 foot off the ground. Anyway... Cameron joined the ranks of real bike riders. He can't wait to take his bike up to the cabin this weekend and do the bike path on his own!!

Cam's life has changed now -- he wants to ride the bike all of the time. And if he is riding with his sisters, it drives him nuts because he can't quite keep up. He and Kenzi rode up to their friends' house the other day and he screamed and cried and peddled the whole way up because he wasn't in front.

The learning curve has been full of bumps and bruises and one major crash off the bike after hitting the cur, flipping through the air and landing on the sidewalk. Thank heaven for helmets -- Dave thought he was dead as he watched him fly through the air... he even had a dent in the helmet.

Congratulations Cameron!
