Bike Riding...Without Training Wheels!

A few years ago, Santa brought the girls new bicycles. Both girls have been riding with training wheels ever since and have been getting more and more confident over time.  Then, a friend recommended that we have them go back to glider bicycles (no pedals as the rider only pushes with their feet) to practice the balancing so they would feel more comfortable on the real thing.  Well, they were right.  After 1 week of practice the girls gave it their best shot at our neighboring schoolyard.  The video speaks for themselves (as there is very little sound), but they took off as if they had been riding for months.  We are so proud of both Natalie and Amanda and can't believe how mature they are becoming.  

Here is Natalie's first Ride!
Congratulations Natalie!



An here is Amanda!
Congratulations Amanda!


And here is a picture of King Will, who built this magnolia leaf crown in celebration of the girls bike riding accomplishment!  Thanks Will, you are a very special brother and a wonderful son!
