The kids have been attending a Safety Camp given by the Richardson Police/Fire Department. They have thoroughly enjoyed this camp and wish it wouldn't end. On Wednesday they had a "Bike Rodeo". I'm not real sure what all it entailed but we had to bring their bikes and helmets to class that day. Whatever they did lit a fire under these kids to finally learn how to ride without training wheels. As of today, June 25th 2015, both kids learned how to ride! Savannah took most of the afternoon and kept getting so frustrated. At one point she decided she was done, gave up, went inside and bawled because she couldn't get the hang of it. A couple of hours later she wanted to try again. Daddy gave her a big push and off she went. The rest is history. As for Ben, I guess being a little older helped him learned a little faster. He spent about 10 minutes figuring it out and then he was off and he looks like he's been riding for years! He's already maneuvering turns and speeding as fast as he can. I think part of the trick to learning for Savannah was that we ended up in the street. The sidewalk was just to narrow for her to navigate. Once she hit the street and had such a wide open space, she was off!!!
