yikes... bikes!

one of the things that grace got for her birthday was a bike helmet with some knee pads. one day we were out riding her bike and she said, 'mom, i don't have a helmet. i think i need a helmet when i ride my bike.' well, nana and papa bought her one for her birthday and she has been a riding machine ever since. we take walks around our neighborhood most nights and the girls ride their bikes. grace has taken a few spills, but thanks to her knee pads, she feels protected and asks to go for a walk/ride every night.


we also bought raegan a tricycle so that she would stop riding on the back of grace's bike. she has very little control and hasn't quite figured out the pedalling thing, so bryan attached a cord to her handle bars so he could mostly direct her and she could learn how to maneuver. it is so cute to watch her ride around.
