Admittedly, Chad and I are not the most outdoorsy people. I don't even have my own bike (should I be embarassed to admit that?). Since family bike rides have not been a regular occurence around here, it's not surprising that our kids seem to be at a more advanced age when they finally learn to ride. Josh and Andrew were 9'ish when they learned, so Sarah is right on target being nearly nine herself. We worked on it last summer, but didn't quite get there. Earlier in the week, I took off the training wheels, lifted the seat and sent her around the block. I figured she could use some practice kicking off and gliding. The next day, I went out with her again and within 10 minutes, she was off! The smile on her face was priceless, it brought a tear to my eye. She was just beaming with a pride...the sense of accomplishment she felt was palpable. Yay, Sarah!
