Last week we splurged and bought Bradley a bike at the DI. It took some negotiating with the bike to get the training wheels on (I don't think it was meant to have this type of training wheel on it, but we changed that pretty quick!), and had some help from Leah with pumping up the tires (apparently our pump doesn't work anymore- go figure). Thankfully she walked by as I was trying to pump up the tires. Had she not run home to get her pump I would have gone on thinking it was the bike and not the pump that was the problem. Anyhow....
Bradley has a bike now!! And we are able to RIDE to the park rather than WALK!! I think we're all happy about that-- especially me! To not have to hear about Bradley's tired legs two seconds after we leave our house is heavenly. It's crazy to think that we used to ride so much and so far in Alaska. We'll have to work back up to that I guess. Well, and I don't have Nate's rollerblades to keep up with them anymore.....
So Saturday, we went to the park :) I said, "Let's go on a bike ride to.....the......... PARK!!!!" And Charity said, "Can we go somewhere besides the park?" My reply, "............hmmmm.........NOPE!" Kinda funny- that's about the only place we could make it to at this point (mainly because there is very little even out here in our little city, but also because I have fines thatI don't want to pay at the library, so that's out). Sure doesn't come close to our Cheney Lake or Goose Lake bike rides, but we still had fun! We decided to go a different way (to add a little excitement :)) and had to off-road it a little on the gravel trail. Brad thought this was awesome, and the girls couldn't get enough of the little dirt hills. Bradley was counting all the grasshoppers he could see hopping up, and saw 5!! Didn't quite reach his goal of 91 hundred, but maybe next time :). Or maybe next time he will pay more attention to where he is going and not fall off his bike so many times :) jk. Good times.
Thanks again for the cute shoes Meg- as you can see Noah loves them! And it's rare for a child of mine to like shoes!
It started raining while we were at the park, so the boys hid in the tunnel :)

Hey, FYI, you can still check out books at the library if you have a fine. They are pretty laid back about it and let you pay it back when you can. Unless you have like $300 in fines. You don't do you???? ;)
Also, you can go to the libraries website and renew books online if you can't return them on time. A little tip I learned several fines too late.
What fun. I really wish I had a bike to go on bike rides with my kids. I am thinking that maybe for Butter's b-day we should get him a bike, but we'll see. Glad to see Noah found a real purpose for shoes, they replace his fingers:) You guys look like you always have so much fun, I love it!
Don't you just love parks!! I love them! They make fun pictures too! I know how you feel about the library, I too do not attend...probably because I'm banned. It starts with fines ChristaMaynes, but it escalates quick! You can't be too careful out there!
Love ya!
