Closer

I took Wynken and Blynken with me for our first "family" bike ride (vs. a 1-on-1 bike ride).

It was just a short jaunt down the path through the woods to the REC center and back. The kids are starting to get a little more confident on their bikes, learning how to control their speed and steering. There was only one minor spill, but nobody got hurt. (Must use brakes!)

I'm trying to teach them basic safety, rules of the road, how to handle gravel and turns, and biking courtesy -- and just how to enjoy it. I think they're warming up to it -- it's fun!

Nod-girl wants in on the action (only she doesn't know how to ride yet!); maybe I'll take her on her scooter.
