Bikers!!!

The girls have been practicing riding their bikes without training wheels, and they're getting quite good! I still don't trust them on gravel, but they have both been able to ride around the yard pretty successfully.

Here are a few pics I took last night----

Sophie caught on pretty quickly and can now ride all over the yard without crashing.


It took Grace a little longer, but once we lowered the seat on her bike she was able to ride pretty well. The falls were much more infrequent, and her meltdowns were manageable. ;-)

She's going.....


Crash.....


Getting up---- at this point I was patiently awaiting the scream of doom that I knew would be coming forth from her mouth.


But she's still happy! There is a God! ;-)

Cute pictures. I wish Lily would give her bike a try without the training wheels. Sophie in particular looks like she really has the hang of it.

Our girls can't bike yet, so for their 8th Bday next week they are going to get a bike... they had one but outgrew these... so we are going to try it again. But your girls are getting the hang of it, that is great!! I mean.. we are DUTCH people who are born on a bike, and our daughters can't bike, people are baffled by it, but it is not in their genes and it really takes a big effort to get them on the bike!!
