riding on the bike!

Click for the video!!!    From Spring 2012

Liesl got to ride on the bike with me for the first time yesterday. I was super excited about it. She liked it - wasn't afraid in the way that Sebastian had been the first few times - but wasn't thrilled about the helmet. Seb rode his Skuut bike next to us on the way out, but then ran all the way back home (over a mile!).  At the halfway point we played in the grass, blew dandelion seeds, and played a game of peekaboo/chase around a big metal sculpture.

In the afternoon we went to the Tarrytown bike shop and bought Seb a big bike - 16 inches, with training wheels, bright yellow. Whee! And then, since we were in T-town anyway, we went to Main Street Sweets and got ice cream for the whole family. Peach for the children, and chocolate for the big people. Yum. Feels like summer.
