Today we did something we've waited two years to do- we went on a family bike ride! We only had the one bike seat that Whitney's pictured in here, so we had to wait for Katelyn to learn to ride a bike for us to all go together. We got her a bike for her birthday last week, and just today she finally mastered the art of pedaling and steering (with training wheels, of course!)so we could go for our bike ride! Katelyn was SO excited (even though she doesn't look it in this picture), she said "this is the best day ever! this is the best day this month!" We were like "even better than your birthday?" and she said "yeah!" so funny. I figured out that with all her bike riding today she rode more than 1.25 miles. She's going to be sore! Do little kids get sore?? She was rubbing her wrists when we got home, they hurt a little from holding on so tight!
Also, Whitney finally figured out today how to "walk" her little ride-in car along, hallelujah. Now we can go for a walk without me having to push anyone (not the whole way at least!)Good times.
And a random quote from Katelyn lately "is an orchard a forest where food grows?"
Someday I'll post about Katelyn's birthday....
how fun! i can't wait for that day for us =o] just goes to show that even the littlest of family excursions mean the world to kids!
ReplyDeleteyes katelyn that is a good description of an orchard, except maybe we need to add in something about how neatly the trees are in rows.
ReplyDeleteWay to go! That looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThe city should use that quote on their website somewhere! SOoo cute!
