Rachel totally loves her new bike, helmet, and pads. She has worn them every day without fail, often before she gets dressed for the day.This is the first time we've bought our kids bikes. Up 'til now bikes have been generously given to us. Everyone was so excited -- but no one was as excited as Jon.
After we had gotten the bikes and had the kids all geared up with their helmets, etc. Jon said "Now I'm a real dad!" Apparently it takes buying your kids bikes before you are truly a parent -- so all those who think they're parents but have yet to buy their kids bikes can think again.
Anyway, it was totally fun and we had a blast riding our new bikes at the park.
Wahoo for new bikes!!
Rachel was totally guzzling the water. I guess being an expert bike rider makes you super thirsty.Hallie wouldn't ride unless I was holding onto her and the bike--and even then she didn't last even 15 minutes.
Kale totally knows how to go for a family bike ride. That's my kind of exercise -- watch others get oh so tired without having to do anything yourself. Good plan.
I love that Rachel has to have not only a helmet, but elbow pads and knee pads as well. Whew.

I am so glad that you and Jon are now truly parents! I love all the gear and the pink, pink, pink! It looks like tons of fun. Good for you.
