Ticket to Ride

Happy Fourth of July! We celebrated by taking the training wheels off Josh's bike.

Life is a lot like riding a bike for the first time- you don't just jump on and do it (unless of course you're David.) You crash, get up and try again, crash again, get up again... you get the idea. Each time you try you get a little better at it. The trick is to keep getting up.

Josh kept getting up and jumping back on, and can now ride a bike without training wheels! He hasn't mastered the finer points of starting, turning, or avoiding parked cars- but he can ride in a straight line without falling! Good job Josh!

Way to go bud! I'm embarrassed to say that Emma (and the boys) can't swim or ride a bike. Mostly because of lack of opportunity. But we're moving into a house with a flat street in front so maybe there's hope. Josh, will teach Emma when we come?

Hooray for Josh! That is great!

My question is, how are the legs, Jesse?

Yah Hooo! Ride em cowboy. Josh definitely went beyond the 8 second buzzer and kept his saddle.
