When we were in Kiawah Island, Sam rode a bigger bike than his bike at home. So then when we got home his Spiderman bike seemed so little in comparison, and we knew he could handle a bigger bike. Friday he got his bigger bike (an early birthday present) and he loves it. He even checked with me if the garage door was closed yesterday when it was raining because he didn't want his new bike to get wet.
So we've been going on more bike rides, but the kids are constantly competing about who is in front. The end up going way too fast, and then get so close to each other that we are afraid they will run into each other. So tonight we had then take turns being in front, but they still set the pace way too fast, and jockeyed for position. And Sam slipped on the gravel pulling into the driveway, and has a few scrapes (elbow and knee) and bruises. Luckily the new bike is not scratched too much. And Ben and I were so frustrated about the frenetic pace of the entire ride. So when everyone has calmed down a bit, we are going to have to set some serious rules about bike riding. Tonight was not fun at all.
But back to Sam's new bike - it's orange and has flames painted on it - Sam picked it out himeself and he loves it!
