The kids have been asking...or shall we say begging for a chance to take their bikes out again after we bought them ummm....yeah about a year ago. Okay so we suck as parents sometimes but time just got away from us and I wasn't able to take them out myself and watch Max so we just kept putting it off and putting it off.
Well...we decided that we would take them out on Sunday to a local park and let them ride and crash a lot. The park was packed so we went to a parking lot a short ways away and let them have at it. They did amazingly well :) Emily caught on before Hudson which surprised both Jase and I since he is usually more athletic than Emm but I guess her dance is paying off. She was off riding around on her own a while before he got the hang of it and i'm sure it was ticking him off that she was doing it and he wasn't. Tori meanwhile was speeding past both of them on her bike with training wheels on, jumping off curbs and being her usual wild child self. All in all it was a great afternoon and it finished with everyone feeling pretty happy with themselves about their bike riding skills.
Yes yes yes, we know...Emily is almost 9 and is now just learning how to ride a bike. Our street just isn't set up for riding bikes like mine or Jason's were when we were kids and there is no way I will let them ride over to their friends like I used to do when I was younger. The world unfortunately just isn't the same as it was back then...man i'm dating myself aren't I? haha
One nice thing about living in Arizona is that its almost December and we are out in t-shirts, shorts and flip flops! Gotta love it :)
Hudson and Max...Max wanted to wear Tori's old helmet. Yep those are princesses on that helmet, it made Jase cringe a little when he put it on!! haha
Emily and Tori riding off into the sunset...well i guess it isn't into the sunset, maybe away from it??
