Bike Riding for Family Night

On Monday night we pulled the bigger kids bikes down from the rafters in the garage (yeah, we kind of forgot to get them down earlier this summer). We were going to pull out bikes for Kolby and Eli, but two of the three bikes didn’t do anything when we tried to pump up the flat tires – I guess that’s what you get for getting kids bikes at garage sales, the tires are worn out). But one of the bikes did work, so Michael and I practiced with Kolby on that one, and Eli seemed happy to speed down the little slope on the walking path next to our house on one of the trikes. Eli and Isaac each got going pretty fast down that little hill, but luckily no one fell too hard. We realized that since our driveway is sloped and we didn’t really want the boys riding in the street, that the walking path would be the best spot, and it worked pretty well for them to ride on. That was a fun ‘family home evening’ activity.
