Winter Bike Ride

There hasn't been much nice weather lately, so when there was a little break today, Mommy decided to take advantage of it. She got Jillian and Bridget dressed and retrieved their bike and trike from the garage, along with their helmets, and took them outside for a little ride. Needless to say, they were both very excited to finally get out and ride around! It was actually Jillian's first outside ride on her new bike.

It was supposed to be a short ride down the block and back, but it turned into a much longer one, all the way to the "new park" on Lake Sacajawea. We had to watch Jillian carefully, since she's still learning how to use the brake ... she'd rather just drag her feet, or steer off the sidewalk and run into something. After playing for a few minutes at the park, due to the chill, we made a dash back home, with Jillian setting the pace on her bike and Bridget needing to be carried (she lost her focus and wouldn't keep hold of the handlebars).
