We decided that all the cousins should have a day when they could ride bikes in the cul-de-sac! They were all very excited! Uncle Grant even drew pictures for mom and dad (a few days before, but still cute!) We ended up getting together on Thursday night, after my kids recital practice. We had b-b-que hot dogs, but the kids didn't eat much cause they were so excited.
Ben was one of the first ones out there to show his cousins how to ride in
his cul-de -sac.
Uncle Grant took Sam and Sarah (and Nara) for rides around the cul-de-sac. They loved it!
Adam hadn't ridden without training wheels before, so I had him get on Ben's little yellow bike. This helped him not to be scared cause he could just put his foot down and wouldn't fall very far. After a few times of me giving him a push to start, he was off and riding! After practicing for a bit, Jon took the training wheels off Adams bike and he was able to ride around! He LOVES it! Good job Adam! Adam and Noah had a blast riding together!
Here are Sarah, Nara, and Sam in the wagon! Nara got to hang out with me all day, and since we are SO exciting at our house, she only took a 20min nap all day. She was one tired girl! She did awesome all day though. (Jen was at youth conference! We will have to catch her next time!)
And of course, these 2 just love to play together, no matter what it is!
Here is Ari on Ben's bike with no training wheels! Her balance is pretty good, she just doesn't like to pedal fast. And, if stationary objects get closer, like a curb or parked truck, she jumps off of the bike! (both legs over the top so she is on the side of the bike!) I have to say she is really talented to jump off so quickly. :)
Ben can ride without training wheels too! (He likes to be bribed to do so though...... He can ride really far for a big piece of crab or an otter pop!) He says he needs to be 5 like Isabel to ride with no training wheels..... He is starting to do tricks on the balance bike, so it is just a matter of him wanting to take his training wheels off. His current training wheels are bald from riding so much! I'm pretty sure when he discovers that he can go faster without training wheels on , he won't ever want them on again!
Here they are fixing a chain on Adam's bike! Someone fixing things = Ben right there!
Brady got home from work, mowed the lawn and then joined in the fun! He likes the little yellow bike. Ben is impressed that Daddy can ride with no training wheels :) Brady had fun racing/teasing the kids. He rode almost every kid bike that was there. He would convince them that they should trade him.
Grant and Jon even rode the little yellow bike. Grant's flip flop slipped off and he biffed it, Jon made it, but not too far. Lots of fun! Tamina even came and joined the party after her 5k for relief society.
The kids had so much fun riding together that they were already talking about when our next bike party would be! So, until the next one ........

Oh how fun! I wish we had cousins close by and a cul-de-sac. Maybe I'll just come hang out with yours? :)
