Summer bikin'

When we moved to our neighborhood almost five years ago, we had no idea how much fun it'd be for our children once they were older.

There are so many fun friends to play with and our safe little culdesac with a slope that slants a bit downward is especially conducive for some good bikin'.

Spencer digs his razor scooter and is oh so fast!





Leda loves her Dora bike (and has proven to be our most coordinated child)






And then there's Chase. Those of you who know Chase know that he is quite the character. Notice here that there isn't a lot of riding going on...but he did find something to keep him entertained...




need a closer look? Yep, a snail. A dead one.




I told him it was dead and that he should put it down because it's yucky, so what'd he do? He threw it in the street and ran over it with his bike. Ewww. Boys can be so disgusting.

Oh and I'm sure Chase will just love me later for these pictures on a hot pink push bike, but that's kind of the price you pay for having an older sister right ahead of you in birth order, right?

I do promise though that I will not pass on to him the Dora bike. I'm not that mean of a mommy!
