Awesome Family Day!

We had a great family day today. This morning we finished up a marriage conference at our church that was great. Brandt asked us why we were going to a marriage conference since we were already married. lol

After that we came home and decided the weather was too beautiful to stay inside. Now sadly, there are no sidewalks near us, and so to do anything we have to load them in the car and drive. I have taken their scooters several times before during the day since I can handle 4 scooters, but we haven't taken their bikes yet. As a result none of the boys could ride a bike without training wheels, and honestly I can count on one hand the number of times they have even been on a bike. Bad parents I know! So we loaded up 4 scooters, 4 bikes, and 4 helmets (not an easy task) and took off.

Brandt learning to ride his bike
Brennan decided this was the easiest way to bring his scooter up the hill. lol
Brayden listening to daddy's instructions
Brayden really was a pro at this
He was riding a long way by himself and loving it!

Bry getting a little brotherly help getting his bike up the hill from Brayden
Bryson wanted to try riding the bike without training wheels too
Brayden totally mastered riding his bike. He can even get on and off by himself.

Brandt was more interested in riding his scooter, but is really close to riding his bike. He fell into a throny bush (the only one remotely close to us) and has the battle wounds to prove it. I fully expect him to ride it by himself the next time. He thinks everything through and is a little more timid than Brayden on things like this. Bryson did really well, but the bike was a little too big for him. I think the next time we go we will take the training wheels off his bike and see if that is any easier for him.

Over all we spent almost the whole afternoon outside and we loved it. It was a really fun day!
