Two 1sts

The first 1st:
Last Sunday after church, we loaded up our bikes and took the boys on a bike ride at a park...not just in our neighborhood for a mile to the creek and back, but a ride where we stopped and had a picnic and then road back to the car. They did great. Granted it was only 2 miles, but they have little legs and bikes without gears. And Drake has also graduated from a tricycle to a big boy bike with training wheels; pretty good for a 2 1/2 year old. And of course Dane now has an even bigger boy bike and since he told us he didn't need his training wheels last summer, he's learning to do small tricks on his bike...skid marks are his favorite.



The Second 1st
We took the boys to the circus a couple nights ago. Lots of fun. Neither of them liked cotton candy, they each got a toy, and now T-Bone isn't as spectacular because, "T-Bone doesn't do THAT!" And Dane's right, T-Bone doesn't jump hurdles and ride a bike.

Both boys started to cry when we went to get their face painted; thankfully they refunded our money, we learned clowns ARE scary looking and oh, no elephant rides because Andy's afraid of them as much as I'm afraid of coyotes!
