Bike To School Day!

 Bike to school day!

The kids and I biked 2.5 miles to school yesterday, which was a ton of fun.  It's a good thing the name is "bike to school" day and not "bike home from school" day, because we had several children hitch a ride with Daddy when it came to the up-hill trip home.

I even had to hand off the two littles riding in the bike carrier because decreasing the load by 50lbs made a world of difference as I pedaled up the hill to our house.

Bicycle Gang

 These eight neighborhood kids had a regular Bike Gang yesterday.  They were circling the neighborhood having a ball.

Eye Spy

There are some themes going around facebook in an effort to get through quarantine and away from COVID-19 info called EYE SPY.  One person tells people to go into their camera roll and find a picture with a specific color and post the picture in the comments.  Then after you post a picture in the comments, the original person gives you a color to post to your profile.

I have not felt the need to repost and ask others to play Eye Spy... but I have had fun posting pictures with various colors.

Here's a little glimpse into our quarantine life based on colors found in photos:

Two Wheel Riding

Sunday afternoon Tracey sat on a two-wheeled bicycle for the first time... and Monday afternoon, she was zipping around our neighborhood independently.

Obviously, it was a wonderfully proud moment for us to watch Tracey learning how to ride... but I will be honest, this was especially precious to me because I was the one running up and down the street holding the back of Tracey's bike.  Iw as was the one encouraging her and challenging her and motivating her to keep going... and I was the one to let go of that bicycle and watch her ride away.

It was a great moment as her mother!
