Going 2 Wheels!

This was the last bike ride we took with Keith's training wheels. We have some friends who live up the road (about 15 minutes walk or ride) that we enjoy visiting. This bike ride has helped Keith really get confidant in his riding.
I told Keith that after Daddy got home, we would have Daddy take off his training wheels. Keith eas so excited! He made sure to tell Daddy that at the airport.
We also decided that he needed the seat raised as well. Ih, and don' you just love the color? This bile was left at our last house whwn we moved in, so we kept it. We keep saying we are going to paint it, but we haven't done that yet.

Here Keith is walking his bike up the hill for the maiden voyage without the training wheels! Both Keith and Rachel pretty much got started on bikes here in our driveway. They have a bit of a slope to give them momentum, and a garafe door to crash into as a last resort if their brakes fail them!
And here he is riding without training wheels! What a big boy! We were so proud of him. And still are!

What a big boy! It took Olivia FOREVER to get the hang of that. I just spent some time catching up on your blog. The bees look exciting, and I wish we could've met up on your trip down here, but I know how crazy vacation gets. You look great, by the way, and Thomas is cute :) I got a little homesick when I saw the pictures of the park. But then I remember how it was always cold and I'm okay. Miss you! And good luck with your business ventures.

Yay for Keith!! We got Anya a new bike (well, new to us...off of Craig's list) without training wheels, but her dad is a little nervous about her riding it. She takes after me and doesn't have great coordination.
