Bike Ride

Now that Kristen has learned to ride a two-wheel bike, she's anxious to test out her new skills. She and I went on a bike ride together over to the "tree" park. We need to work on her traffic-safety knowledge, but other than that she did really well. My bike is kind of out of commission, so I rode Amy's bike. (There are some advantages to having a daughter almost as tall as me.)

A couple of days later, all of the girls wanted to ride over to the "tree" park together. Since I didn't have a bike to ride, I followed in the van and brought my camera along.











We were only able to stay at the park for a short time because Chris and I had plans for the evening. The adventure was going pretty well until something, according to Kristen, bumped her off her bike! I hate it when that happens. She crashed. It was handy having the van because I was able to scoop her and her bike up and drive her on home. Poor little thing couldn't even sit down her heiny hurt so badly. Fortunately it hasn't deterred her from being willing to try again.
