No Brakes!!!


Kirby giving every ones bike a tune up.

Ready to venture down the hill!!!


Sunday after church, we had planned a long awaited bike ride to grandma and papa's house. Kirby and I both have children seats attached to our bikes so of course Lacey would be in one and in my mind Rusty would ride in the other. Bryce has no choice but to be a big boy on his bike! (Which he was totally good with!) But, Rusty insisted on ridding to grandma's on his own bike with training wheels! So we started from our house. I know what were we thinking!?!

Bryce I guess, got in a panic and forgot to use his brakes! He peddled forward instead of back! Ahhhh, he came down the hill full speed out of control! At that moment I felt so helpless watching him but unable to jump off my bike because Lacey was behind me.. So what happened you ask???

Well, Daddy to the rescue!! Kirby grabbed Bryce's bike just in time and saved him!!! Amazingly enough it didn't slow him down he wiped the tears from his eyes and jumped on his bike without a minutes hesitation!

We did make it to grandma and papa's with only one crash from Bryce and Rust, and ditching Rusty's bike in Franklin! It was all in all very enjoyable! Next time we venture to grandma's we will be a little more prepared..

Papa ended up driving us home with our bikes in the back of the truck. Thank goodness!

What a great adventure!! We look forward to doing it many more times, so heads up grandma and papa!!!
