Lexie's first bike ride!

What happens when your big brother stands on your training wheels? They break and suddenly you are compelled to learn to ride a two wheeler!
We started in front of our house for the first try. It did not end well! :-(
For try number two; we headed to the Slippery Elm Bike Trail. She did a lot better but decided that there was definitely something wrong with her pedals. They needed to stay still while she put her feet on them instead of pushing forward out from under her!

Tonight was try number three and you can see the happy results. What a talented kid. Her stopping still needs a bit of work and she prefers the parking lot to the trail because; like all women driver's--she has difficulty with the going in a straight line concept!

Way to go Lexie! Congratulations! I took a longer video and I will post it as soon as I figure out how to get it off of my phone!
