Andy took Rachel's training wheels off her bike several months ago and never had the time to really work with her. My smart mother had the idea that we should haul Rachel's bike up to their place over Thanksgiving. Andy would definitely have the time to work with her and they have a great training area, a long driveway that they share with their neighbors. Rachel first started out on a little bike that my parents had. Andy took the training wheels off and Rachel mastered that bike first. She felt more comfortable on this bike because it was easy to stop herself and just stand, rather than fall over while on the bike. She really didn't get much help from Andy. She then got brave enough to try her own bike and within a couple of tries, she was off:
Andy then put the training wheels back on the little bike and Audrey figured out how to ride that one. This was great since she was getting a bike for her birthday in a few weeks.
The girls love riding their bikes! This time of year is actually a great time of year to do so. We love mild days and when schedules permit we spend quite a few of the daylight hours outside riding bikes.
