The Big Bike!

Today was a big day for Riley in that he rode his big bike to the small park by our house. He and my mom walk to the park - and on down to Elk Rock Island - nearly every day. The last couple of weeks he has walked so he could carry his fishing pole and tackle box. Before that, though, he would always ride his tricycle. On the way to the park there are several hills and he would bomb down it on his tricycle, totally fearless. For his 3rd birthday this year we got Riley an actual bike with training wheels. It took him awhile to be comfortable with the bike, but now he rides around the driveway like a pro. But today he decided that it was time to take the bike on our walk. It was a big deal for him and we had to document it.

He took the big hill very slowly but I'm sure he'll be zooming down it in no time.

Wahoo, Riley Roo!
