Little Biker Dude

For his birthday last year, Holden got his first "big boy" bike. Buuuut... since his birthday is in November... (and we live in Ohio where Spring didn't decide to really show up until a few days ago)... he hasn't really had a whole lot of opportunities to really use it that much yet.

But Daddy's off playing the drums at a concert tonight and Mommy didn't feel like having her house trashed for 4 hours until bedtime... so off to the bike trail it was!!

This was Holden's first time to ride his bike there and he did so GREAT! This mommy was very happy. 

And then it was cheeseburgers for dinner (chicken nuggets for Bridger... ever the opposition around here...), the circus that is bath time, a snack and a show, and off to bed! Ah, sunshine and fresh air... how I love the way you wear my children out ;)

 I said, "Holden! It's your first time on the trail with your new bike! We should probably take a picture, right?!" You can see everyone's enthusiasm with my idea..

 There he goes! He just did great!

 And a brief pause on the bridge for some cow watchin'

 

Little Biker Dude!

(Also? Highlight of the whole thing?... Well, I was in the lead, and I kept asking him is he was doing ok back there, if he was getting tired, telling him to "work those little legs!", etc... so we're nearing the end and he yells from behind me: 

"Work that body, Mommy! I could do this alllllll day!"

Baaaahahahahhaa!! Just who in the world does this kid think he is!?♥
