Adrian's First Attempts at Riding a Bike without Training Wheels!

Taking off the training wheels!!

Everybody's got something to ride.

Elliot's new "Thomas" bike he just got for his belated birthday present.

Comic relief.

Look, NO HANDS!!

We went down to the park to try taking off the training wheels. Within about an hour he was getting the hang of it. We only had one big spill on the way home. Thank goodness for helmets! His head could have been toast the way it bounced off the road! Daddy was just 1 inch from catching him, but....alas, a parent cannot always be there. School of hard knocks. Elliot was getting the hang of riding his bike too. It doesn't seem that hard once you already know how to ride, but just getting the hang of moving your feet in the right direction and not backwards. He rode the whole way home though. Esther was a little bored at times, but she hung in there.
