Learning to ride a 2 wheeler

Jessica has been trying to get her Dad to take off the training wheels off her bike all summer long. He was going to do it on his vacation in the middle of July but due to the basement flooding he never got it done. Jessica was really upset, but he promised that while he was off  when  the baby was born, he would take her to the church parking lot and teach her to ride a 2 wheeler bike. He was busy with so many other projects with the basement that it almost didn't happen again. On August 6th he finally got time to take her, Jessie was so excited. We thought we could just teach Ky at the same time but she wanted nothing to do with it, but Matt said he would learn, he is definitely not ready for that.
When they got the the church, we noticed that Jessica was to big for her bike and that she had a hard time trying to move the handlebars due to her knees hitting them. It only took her a couple of tries before she was mostly riding on her own, she even figured out how to start out on her own, she was so proud of herself, she had to tell everyone.
Ky and Matt had a blast just riding there bikes in a big open space, not just the little deck at home. Matt really learned to peddle fast and tried to crash a couple of times going down the sidewalk. Thank goodness Dad was watching and could stop him.
Everyone had a great time together getting some exercise and enjoying 90 degree heat on the blacktop.

Look at me go
Ky, just full of smiles
