I'm sad to admit that it has been forever since our kids rode their bikes. We usually spend most of the year enjoying the outdoors...but this past year I have avoided the bikes like the plague. Here's a break down of my excuses:
- Nov-Jan "Hello, I'm about to pop out a kid...there's no way I'm carrying all your bikes down our slippery steps."
- Feb-Mar "Newborn." (I think that's explanation enough)
- Apr "It's snowing!" (no lie, it snowed on Easter Sunday in Dallas)
- May-Oct "It's too freakin' hot outside, I hate mosquitoes, Ben's going to blister his ultra white skin and I don't feel like cleaning off your bikes that are sitting on the balcony collecting spider webs, tree droppings, bird droppings, etc. Let's go swimming!"
So here we are full circle. I feel really bad. Sydney will probably be 10 before she can ride a 2-wheeler!
Let the guilt wash over me!
Thankfully Sydney didn't miss a beat and sped around like Evil Knievel.
We tried Emma on a few different bikes. She was never quite satisfied enough because neither of them could help her keep up with Syd. Sad!
So she stole Ben's bike! Punk!
Emma also choose to use her bike for gymnastic tricks instead of speed.
I'll give her points for being creative!
Ben pigged out on a banana to keep himself occupied. And YES the little piggy can eat a whole one!
Ben also enjoyed his time on his bike...that is until Emma stole it.

Well, I've always heard that, when you don't do something for a long time and then you give it a go again, it's like...riding a bike!
Obviously, came up with that little nugget didn't ask for Emma's feedback. Go, Emma! If you can't do it, steal your little brother's bike. hahahaha
I love it!
Hey, dont feel bad. I have been known to do the same thing. Our poor deprived kids!
Your Emma is a riot! I need to meet this girl! (And the rest of them, too!)
