Before Miriam's cousins moved they passed down a 2 wheel bike. Miriam was so excited but we didn't get very far with it as first. Then Miriam's interest was renewed when her friends brought out their bikes though theirs had training wheels and Miriam had to have them. So we got her a helmet for her birthday and she started riding until Daddy accidently smooshed one of the training wheels. Time passes but then her bike was ready and Daddy let her ride to the park on Thur (while I worked on cleaning without children around!) She was hooked and has been riding constantly since.
We have recently obtained another bike trailer so we can all go as a family. Rachel and Benjamin strapped in and ready to go. This was Benjamin's first bike ride on July 27. He wailed a lot of it unfortunately until he fell asleep. We decided to test everything with a ride to the Little Acorn Drive In apx 2.2 miles away. I thought we would just load all the kids up, but Daddy decided to let Miriam try riding by herself. She did fabulous! She rode all the way there keeping up really well, in fact I still might have been the slowest most tired one! The only trouble she had was on the uneven rocks she would get stuck. She had so much fine that she was till riding while we were eating and had to keep going even after we got home!
At the end of the ride wearing her helmet, camelback and gloves just like Daddy!
