Riding Bikes

When my sisters and I were little, we spent a lot of time riding bikes. We had a collection of second-hand bikes, complete with banana seats, since it was the 70s, and we rode all over the place--over the grass, gravel, dirt, street . . . riding bikes was a big part of our lives.

Recently we got out Ben's bike and realized it was way too small for him, so we started to look for a new one. When I mentioned this to my dad, he said that he might have a bike in his shed that would work.

So out of the magic shed (that somehow seems to have anything anybody needs and was thinking of buying), my dad pulled out a bike that was the perfect size for Ben,



and one for Janae, too.

 

He cleaned them up, and we brought them home. Ever since, Ben and Janae have been riding around our parking lot from the time Ben gets home from school to the time I have to drag them in so I can make dinner.

 

Alaina tries to keep up on the little bike Ben and Janae used to push around when they were toddlers.

 

They are so happy outside!

And it's fun to see them doing what my sisters and I used to do.
