Bikes


Last year my coworker, who has boy/girl twins that are 5 years older than TJ and Olivia, asked if I wanted their old bikes. I rarely turn down hand-me-downs so I gladly took the bikes/training wheels off of their hands and hung the bikes up in our garage. Thanks to Gpa we finally got them down for the kids to ride. I was SURE that they weren't big enough for bikes with training wheels. Boy was I wrong! I can't believe how fast they've grown. We took the bikes to Gma and Gpa's house where they would have more room to ride.

We discovered a flat in one of the bikes...but here are Handy TJ and Olivia to the rescue!
They were pretty excited about helping to fix this flat;)

My two favorite men!
Once the flat was fixed, they started riding...

...and didn't want to stop! Olivia, at times, was more focused on her bag o' potato chips that Gma gave to her. You can see her munching on some in this picture.

There is a Spiderman and a Hummer bike. They don't seem to have a preference...

Notice Olivia's face while riding...
...and this is Olivia's face when we told her it was time to come in.

Of course Gpa (the posterchild for a grandparent) was willing to stay out there as long as she wanted!

I think she has a little more growing to do...like 3.5 feet...before she can ride Gpa's giant bike;)
But, of course, you couldn't tell that to Olivia!
This is one of my most fond memories that I have as a child with Dad...walking up the length of his legs and then flipping over. Olivia is following in my footsteps!
Next up...St. Augustine weekend #2!
