Dads play while kids take a break
June 2nd, 2008My kids have taken to bombing down this large hill at my parent’s house. The hill ends in a culdesac, where the boys swoop around, barely avoiding parked cars and trash bins. As a parent it’s heart stopping to watch. Micah (7 years old) had called it a day, so Emmanuel took Micah’s bike for a spin. Inspired by him, I took up Juliette’s (Emmanuel’s daugher’s) bike for a short run down the hill. Since her bike is a bit more fragile, I didn’t go too far up, fearing a wheel failure. Emmanuel came flying down the hill with my 5 year old, Toby, and my dad followed him. Thanks for the pictures, Moses.

oh my goodness! Elijah looks extremely uncomfortable on the pink bike and the helmet doesn’t exactly fit. :)
And Emmanuel looks like he’s trying to set some top speed record…remember to use both the front and rear brakes and not just the front!

Why, yes, I was trying to break a top speed record, with no helmet or pads and on a bike far too small ;)
The speed wobbles on a bike that short were a bit frightening when I reached the bottom of the hill. But it sure was fun!
