Footloose and Fancy Free

IMG_6084

Both Anna and McKenna are riding bikes with NO WHEELS!!!  It took lots of false starts and running up and down the sidewalk, but they have both figured it out.  We owe a lot of this to our wonderful nanny, Mayu, as she has been working with them after school most days as well!  The hardest part is getting started going up the ‘hill’ that is out street.  It isn’t huge, but it does pose a challenge.  Since we won’t let the girls ride in the street, they swerve back and forth on the sidewalk trying to get enough speed to keep their balance – sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

The girls are pretty proud of themselves and now want to ride their bikes everywhere.  It may be time for me to get a bike…

McKenna wanted to make sure I took a picture of her riding in the grass :)

This makes bike riding much easier for Patrick and I as we no longer have to run up and down the sidewalk.  Now we might need the exercise, but we will just have to find it some other way.
