"I want to ride my bicycle"

Elise has been bugging us non-stop since we have been home to go out and let her ride her bike.  We had been planning to get Owen a tricycle of his own so I finally got him one today.  Ellie is still learning about steering in the right direction and Owen doesn't really pedal, instead just enjoys the ride.  We also bought them helmets so they can be safe... they look so cute in them.
Here is Owen looking on by himself while Dad helps Ellie for a second.
This is why Ellie has a hard time steering, she concentrates on her feet and her pedaling the whole time.
Dad showing Owen where his feet go and showing him how to pedal.

Mom/Mags and Owen.  Maggie slept during our ride.  It will be fun when they all 3 are riding bikes one day. 

We look forward to many bike rides this fall and hopefully the kids will become pretty efficient at pedaling and steering by this time next year.

Aidan loves riding his bike too, and hasn't gotten the whole stear while you pedal thing either. I'm glad to hear he's not unusual! ;) And aren't those tricycle parent handles great?! Love them, no bending over killing your back.
