Biking

When we got back from Utah drew and I had a goal to get Mac and gray on a two wheeler. We have been trying for years with Mac but we have had little success. Mac was not on board with our goal but gray was. The first night gray tried his little heart out and did pretty good. Lots of crashes but eager to get back up. Mac would not even get on the bike. The 2nd night we got Mac on the bike with bribes and younger brother peer pressure. It was bad. Mac wouldn't peddle fast enough to go straight while gray was basically riding all by himself. We didn't give up and 5 nights later Mac was riding all by himself! He was so proud of himself. Since then I think we have missed only a few nights of bike riding. The boys ask to go every night and sweet Annie is a maniac on her bike. No fear, rides fast and takes a turn like a pro. We have loved our nights. Going to different parks and schools. Riding as a family. It's been a dream. One night after riding a loop at a park for an hour, Mac and I rode home from the park. It was over 2 miles and it had a major hill. No falls or stops the whole way. He has come so far.
