On Saturday, Sebastian's friend Nathan celebrated his birthday with a party at an indoor bike park called the Lumberyard. Nathan has a younger sister, Diya, and so Liesl came along to be company for her and to check out the place. It was our first visit there, and no prizes for guessing which of my two children rode around the track multiple times like a daredevil, and which one found it extremely scary. :)
In fairness, however, I should note that Sebastian actually did very well, considering his fear and that he was on a much bigger bike with pedals. Some of his friends wouldn't even try it, staying away from the track and making art projects in the party room instead. Seb stayed at the entrance ramp, watching his friends, gathering up his brave powers, and then actually riding the circuit five or six times. I was proud of him.
Liesl and Diya became instant friends and rode their skuut bikes around an easy loop twenty or more times. It was super fun to watch them figure it out. Liesl didn't want to quit - she claimed to want to stay "until dark".
