We have a new bike rider in our family!! It has taken about a year, and a few attempts, but she did it!! We headed down to the school and within 5 minutes she was totally on her own, no falling at all. She practiced stopping, starting, going over bumps, up hills, down hills, figure 8's through the poles....she was a pro. Maybe because we promised her a new basket for her bike if she got the hang of it??
So this is our new view when we are running out on the trail. I think the happiest person is Brian as he is now only pushing Bubba in the jogger, although I don't think Bubba is happy about sis being on the bike now, poor guy was pretty lonely! She did great, knew the rules of the trail already from watching Em the past 2 years, and only ran into 3 poles on her first time out on the trail!
We have been promising Sophie we would make her a head board for a while now. This evening was spent measuring out everything, cutting it all out and developing a plan on assembling it. Tomorrow will be sanding, paint, and assembly. Below are pictures from our hike today with the Behrens in Briones. It was cold, but beautiful. We got up pretty high, and the views were worth it! It was mostly single track, which is my favorite.
The kids and Brian have been home all this week, so it has been fun, relaxing, hectic and crazy all at once. We are heading to bed early tonight so we can properly execute the yearly Black Friday tradition. Not much on our list this year, but we are after sheets, kids shoes, and a dvd player.....lets see if we stick to those 3 things! If you are among the crazies heading out early in the morning, have fun, drink coffee, and find your happy place!
