Bicycles

Okay, as promised, some pictures and a short video of the kids and their bikes. They are loving them and gamely head out down the (gravel) driveway at each chance they get. They are learning to stick to the well traveled lanes that are smoother. They also love opportunities to go to parks. So far, their favorite is to ride in loops around basketball courts, they are a little less brave about the path systems that often involve going up and down hills. Well, I take that back, E is a little uncertain... S would like all his biking to include wildly careening down hills- legs out, handlebars barely under control. The first time he located a little hill leading down to a gully at our local park, we watched as he pedaled over and - swoop! Disappeared out of sight. This was great fun and he did it a few more times before Mommy couldn't take it anymore and said that was enough....
But really, their love of their bicycles may show their side from the Netherlands.... although J insists he never had training wheels... so I guess that shows their American side!
