The bicycle part of the weekend concluded about six hours ago. To give you an idea of how Earth shattering it was, my step son just gave me an in depth, detailed recap of one of the hills he road down.

What a fantastic weekend it’s been.

Why did this bird puff out it’s feathers like that when it was just sitting on the ground hangin’ out?

Bike day #2. Bathroom break.

Yesterday was so much fun. My step daughter can now officially say she can ride a bike. My step son took a shot without the training wheels but he isn’t quite big/strong enough to hold himself upright. He’s close, but not quite ready.

We are going to celebrate the bicycle success by doing a little more riding today.

My step kids are just plain awesome.

I’m married to a woman who has a daughter who can ride a bike.

Today’s plan is pretty simple. Drive over to the kids’ father’s house, pick up their bikes, drive to Jen’s mom’s house, watch the kids ride the bikes.

Simple… perfect.

Both bikes have training wheels on them. We’re hoping the bravery level will rise high enough that at least one of them sees the training wheels come off and the real bike riding begins. I’m trying to limber up seeing as I may have to run behind a bike for a while today. I expect a heart attack or two. hehe

Jen’s second stab at being a film maker.

BRILLIANT!!!!

My wife’s first stab at being a film maker.

Brilliant!

WEEKEND!!!!!

It’s Friday again. This week has been quietly stressing me out in a number of small, random ways. I am really looking forward to the weekend.

I missed a chance at a good silly picture today. My step daughter washed her flip flops and we set them to dry in front of a fan. Silly, but I still wish I got a pic.

Speaking of the kids… There may be bike riding lessons tomorrow… of the sans training wheels variety. Stay tuned!
