Tour De Middle School....

We like to go to Morgan Middle School's track to ride bikes. This particular day we asked my sister and her kids to come with us, and all the kids had a lot of fun. I love bike riding days, the kids just go and go, and by the time we are done we have tired kiddos.

Braiden has been riding a bike without training wheels for a little over a year, but he finally got tall enough to ride his "big" boy bike. He still is a few inches to short to touch the ground if he has to stop, so normally he just bails to the side if he wants to get off.

Yes, this picture is Braiden "jumping" the wheelchair ramp. He wanted to do it so bad but thankfully he has a little more self preservation than his siblings, because he tried it probably 15 times before he actually went over it. He would get right up to the end and than stop, until I told him, if he is going to do it he just needs to do it. I know, mothering skills of the year, but I want him to do what he sets out to do, and as much as I didn't love the idea of him jumping things and possible breaking his neck, he set his mind to do it.

Trevor, always trying to outdo his brother!
This was his idea for a jump, there was no thought involved for him only a ready, set, go! He jumped it too, the only problem he had was his bike wasn't big enough to clear, so the back wheel caught the edge, and lets just say Trevor smacked his "boy parts". Poor kid, but I doubt that will stop him!
Cousin Tyce, looking so cute on his trike!
