Bikes and the like...

Connor and Fiona got new bikes about a month ago. Since they hadn't ridden for a couple of years, they also go training wheels.

Connor's cool BMX bike

Fiona's cute princess bike

Connor even got cool training wheels...

Aren't they neat?

So, a month has passed by. By consensus, it was decided it was time for the training wheels to go. We all thought we'd take off one, let them ride for a bit, then take off the other. Noperdoodle. Not for the super twins. They rode once with one wheel and said, thank you, I'll have the second one off now.

Bye bye training wheels

The exposure is off on this one -- sorry

Much to our sheer surprise -- and great admiration -- they were both up and riding within about an hour. BY THEMSELVES!!! I worked with Fiona, Mike worked with Connor. I only have one picture of the beginning before we were busy teaching.

And they're off!

After they were steady enough to ride on their own, the four of us rode around and around Lincoln Street school.

What a great day!
