biking. it’s been the topic of many conversations around here lately. like tonight when eli asked if he cold sleep in his clothes instead of his pj’s so that when he woke up in the morning and go right out to ride his bike. he went on to say, “mom, I need to practice everyday so that I can get really good and go off jumps and r-i-d-e u-p t-r-e-e-s.”
this bike mania started just a few days ago. some friends told us about the eagle bike park and how they have a new bmx track. it sounded like fun, but eli has only been riding without training wheels for a few months, and never on uneven dirt. we thought we would go and check it out, let him ride on the dirt, and maybe test out a bit of the small track.
here are the boys getting ready to ride…
check out his face:) this was the end of the smaller track…after riding on it a few times he said, “this is boring, let’s go on the big one!”
so they did…
I don’t think I’ve ever seen eli so excited about something. he was all chatty, talking to everyone.. “hey!” “how’s it going!?!” “do you want to race!?!” yeah, he challenged a boy twice his age to race. the guy was a good sport and “raced” him a few times.
a after about two hours of riding he said, “now that’s what I call fun!”
lyla had a grand time too. she slid down the dirt banks, climbed up the dirt piles and ran the track with her own two little, adorable, legs.
this is going to require many, many band-aids.
