He finally did it!!!

Finally, Success!! We took Britton's training wheels off last year, but Tyler was gone so much that we didn't really get a chance to teach him. I tried one day and he crashed, kind of bad, and he refused to ride after that so I took him to the store and got him some knee pads, elbow pads and gloves hoping that would give him some confidence. It didn't work so the training wheels went back on......until yesterday. We loaded up the kids and the bikes and went to the park. Britton still didn't want to try riding with out his gear but after riding for a while he said he didn't need it. YEAH!! Tyler put Britton on his bike and he just took off. Ty ran beside him just in case, but it wasn't necessary. He rode like a pro. He still struggles with sharp turns, stops (he just crashes on the grass) and getting started, but hey, once he's on, he's on.




Shayna was feeling a little jealous and wanted her training wheels off too! It didn't last.


So she rode scooters with her Dad instead. Tylers on Brittons scooter that we took to the park just in case bike riding was unsuccessful.

And of course Shayna wanted her picture taken with the horses. Apparently it doesn't matter if they are real or not. She LOVES horses.




When we got home Britton had to call his Grandma and Grandpa to come over and watch him ride, he was sooo excited to tell them all about it.
Thanks Mom and Dad for coming over, it made his day!
