Trying to ride on the bike together.
Braden's new trickI love summer evenings that aren't 95 degrees with a heat index of 100 degrees! And last night was a perfect night to be out. The boys love being outside. They love riding bikes up and down the sidewalk, playing baseball, running with the neighbor kids, riding in their truck together looking for bad guys, running threw the sprinkler (it is on almost every night because our grass is brown and hard) (clothing is optional when running in the water- sometimes fully dressed, others with trunks, other times we just go in the undies!), making hop scotch on the driveway, whatever it is outside they love doing it- no matter how much sweat is dripping off their heads!
Braden was all about trying "new tricks" last night outside. He did this one (legs off pedals after going really fast) about 10 times. Then he took it to the next level. He did the same trick but with no hands. Notice I don't have a picture of that trick because it didn't last long enough for me to get his hands up! He was getting pretty fancy on his scooter as well!
Blake is now riding the bike in the picture completely on his own. We walked around part of the neighborhood (about 1/2mile) and he did the pedals the whole way. I only had to help when going back on the sidewalk from the road. All he wants to do is "ride on Brays bike."
The funny part of this great milestone is that Nick and I got him a new bike with pedals at Target at the beginning of the summer (50 bucks-yikes!) because he couldn't do the pedals on Braden's and the other bike didn't have pedals (and he was ready for pedals). Oh well, it looks like Braden will be getting a new bike because I think Blake has made Braden's bike officially his!
Here is to summer evenings- may we enjoy them to their fullest!
