Since it's not really boating season, we have more time for other things, like teaching our kids how to ride their bikes! As winter approached, Kevin and I discussed that NOW was the time to teach out kids since it's not too hot and we can actually tolerate being outside and running around behind them.
Colby was the most eager to learn, so Kevin took off his training wheels first. Joanna had recommended teaching him on a grassy flat field, so that is what we did. He was doing pretty good, but we eventually moved to the street so the bike was a little easier to pedal.
Brooke decided that she still wanted her training wheels, but she allowed Kevin to raise them up a bit so that at least she could get the feel for the need to balance. And she still loves her Pinkalicious bike, so there's that :)
As we put the bikes away, the kids asked to go to the park. They really will play outside all day if we let them! Colby was interested in batting practice, while Brooke wanted to play on the playground with all her jumpropes.
Brooke eventually made her way over to join us for batting practice, and I had fun watching Kevin coach her on her swing. It's fun to teach your kids new skills and work on strengthening skills they already have.
