Note: My posts are now officially a little out of order. We were excited about this bike, so we posted this right away. This happened today, just after Miles’ second soccer practice (post still in draft) Please be patient with the upcoming 'back-dating' - GASP!
Yes… this sounds like the beginning of a really romantic post. Sorry to burst the bubble so soon – it’s not!
BUT it is about the creation of a GREAT family moment and committing it to a written log of my favorite memories.
Nate’s former boss was cleaning out his garage and donated a tag-a-long bike to us. We are thankful and EXCITED! After assembling a few needed parts and pumping up tires, Nate and Miles were off!
I was super excited to be armed with a camera to catch the first moments in action! I’m positive we have a new favorite family activity!!
As they passed by, I’d hear things like:
“We’re going so fast!” “This is so fun!” “Mom, we’re going to race you!”
I asked Nate, afterwards, what the ride was like. He giggled and said that Miles kept singing as the ride continued…He can’t remember the song, but it was something similar to the wheels on the bus :) Nate also said that Miles was a chatterbox – if he wasn’t singing about riding the bike, some action/adventure/exciting observation was being narrated.
Precious!
I REALLY wanted to snap more photos and videos, but Miles and Nathan were FAST and disappeared around the block often. Then, they’d sneak up from the opposite direction, finding me surprised and trying to conserve the camera battery.
We did go on a second bike ride later this evening, but I left the camera behind so that I could enjoy the outing from my own bike instead of the curb. I’m sure there will be more photo documentation to come, but this very short video will have to do for now :)
Great day! Soccer practice and TWO bike rides!! Wow, I hope he sleeps well :)
Happy Saturday to all of you!
