Biking

The kids have been long overdue for new bikes. They've been too big for their bikes for quite some time now, but we just didn't have the means (or didn't want to fork out the means) to replace the old ones.  Buying 1 bike? ... no problem. 2 bikes? ... okay. I can live with a dent in the checking account... but 3? At once? Not gonna happen... at least not for a while. So we put it off for as long as we could and finally decided, that these rambunctious boys needed some wheels, pedals, and speed in their lives. They got scooters for Christmas, which held them over a little while, but the time had come to finally get them some bikes. So a trip to Target, Walmart, back to Target, another trip back to Target for an exchange, and a trip to AutoZone for some tools.... and we finally were set to go with 3 bikes. Me and Ti of course still have our bikes, so the garage is getting a bit crowded with wheels. I made them ride their scooters one more day to school, so when they got home yesterday they were dying to get on their bikes. We all took a bike trip to the park (which I found out actually has a name... Nathaniel Jones Park) and rode up and down the trails. After an hour of going over bumps, going up and down hills, and falling down and getting back up again we rode back home. Today, the scooters remain in the garage and instead 3 little bikes have made their way to Wright Elementary with 3 happy kids as their drivers.
