These are a couple of bikes my friend Amy gave to us after her girls outgrew them. They came without training wheels, and Gracie & Clara have been very patient for the last couple of weeks until Mike had time to get the bikes ready. Gracie's was ready first, and then Clara was super good about waiting even longer while Mike made sure her bike was safe & ready to ride, too.
Oh - Clara did have something to entertain her while she waited. One of the car seats was out of the van, so Gracie & Clara played rocket ship. You can see who the asgronaut is here (strapped in tight, of course).
They both did a great job on the bikes. Unfortunately, Gracie fell after about 15 minutes of riding. She slammed the handlebars into her mouth on the way down and it must have hurt quite a bit, but she was okay after a little break and it hasn't deterred her from riding (she's got to keep up with Clara, right?).
And not to leave JM out of all the excitement - he got to play in his saucer and watch for a little while.
The next day - after waiting all afternoon for Daddy to get home so they could ride (we're trying to keep a closer eye on them these first few weeks, so they have to wait until Daddy gets home so we can keep an eye on JM as well!), they got out and rode as long as they could. These are some pictures from that day:
Lining up for the race (their idea)
Hmmm, I haven't said go yet - who do you think wins?
And of course, everyone was out again this afternoon. Gracie took all of these pictures - she really likes her camera & is getting pretty good at taking pictures and videos. I'll have to share some of the videos at a later date, they are funny.
This is Clara taking Moose Peacock on his first bike ride! She was very excited for him.
JM wonders, could I escape from this silly saucer and head out on the scooter?

What fun! JM is getting so big. We need a playdate for the kids (us) soon.
