On Two Wheels


Just in time for summer Makayla gets on two wheels. She decided one day that she was ready to take off the training wheels and so we did. She rode around our driveway for a while, on the gravel and then we took her down to the waterfront in Portland and away she went. She was so excited!! We can't get her to stop now. Anytime the sun is shining she wants to go somewhere to ride her bike.
Makayla is so confident in herself that on Monday afternoon she took her first big spill. We have a trail not too far from our house that I take her to. It has a couple big hills and she was having so much fun flying down the hill that she forgot to turn for the corner at the bottom of the hill. She flew off the side and landed in the creek. She scratched her face and chest but was otherwise ok.
