A Biking Milestone

My kiddo mastered riding his bike this week. He had such a fear of falling that he wouldn't allow himself to pedal fast enough to gain balance. We have been working on riding his bike for 3 years.   I kept telling him.... if you only pedal faster you will take off and wonder what was so hard.  He kept trying..... I kept pleading.

HE DID IT!!!

He took off and went on down the trail and came riding back with a big grin!  "You were right! You were right!  I don't know what was so hard!" 

He finally got it and he is raring to go, so to celebrate, we went on a five mile ride on the Centennial River Trail. It was a hot ride but we went in the evening so it was doable. He loved it....

                                 

                                                              we found a huge pine tree....

 up...
              up....
                                up.....

  It was a six bunny ride, but we couldn't interest any 

bunnies in posing for a picture! 

  There are miles and miles of trails available in our area so that will keep us busy this summer.  I hope it is not the last time I am 'right' in his eyes!

It was a good day!
