Goodbye Training Wheels!

The weather has been so great lately in Santa Barbara that our evenings are spent riding bikes around the neighborhood (or a scooter or tricycle or balance bike if you are Thatcher).  We have been checking the Stone's mail for the past few weeks while they are transitioning to their new home in Holland so we usually take a nightly excursion over to their house (sniff, sniff, so sad that they are not home)!






 
 

About a week ago, Samantha asked for her training wheels off.  We took them off and her princess bike was actually hard for her to ride because it is pretty big for her.  So, we took the training wheels off the bicycle that the Stones gave Thatcher and it was a perfect fit!
 



So proud of our Sammie!  There is something about having a two-wheeler.... It is sort of like graduating from diapers - such a rite of passage!

Congratulations Sammy! We are proud of you! It's so weird watching you in our driveway back home and not being there to see you. We miss you so much!

Good job riding without training wheels.

And Ronda I love the music to that video. Perfect selection!

That looks like me after I've had a few to drink! Try it--the similarities are uncanny!
