Boys and Bikes

We have been doing some serious bike riding around here these days. All the kids in the neighborhood ride all over the street after school. Blake has been dying to ride his bike to school and I finally let him. We had to wait for the rain to stop and then we needed a bike lock..but it finally happened last week.
Chad taught Colin how to ride a bike in about 10 minutes. Colin has been on his skuut bike (a balance bike) for the past two years, so it was an easy transition. Chad fixed up this bike for him and Colin's big request was for a kickstand. One rainy day Colin came in and changed his shoes so that "his kickstand would stay shiny". Chad was so proud.
We found them one morning before church out on their bikes. Chad thought they looked like little missionaries.

Yea for a new post! I love the mountains in the background. It's so pretty. I'm glad your boys are so happy on bikes. They look like they are having a ton of fun.

How fun! Cora just learned to ride her bike and I can't wait for the boys to learn (we need to get them bikes!) Your boys are adorable!

Look how beautiful the mountains look by your house too! Gorgious. Really, you have a beautiful view up there. The boys look so happy on their bikes. Yea for Blake riding to school and Colin for learning to ride a 2 wheeler on his own.
