After the continued interest we have seen in wanting to ride their bikes EVERY night after dinner, we decided it was time to check out bigger bikes for the boys. For Brady's birthday, we have talked about getting him a 12" (upgrade from the tricycle) that he could grow into over the summer. For Connor, he has been REALLY rough on his bike and either needed new training wheels or a new bike.
We ended up at Toys R Us Friday night...they had a blast trying out bikes and we learned they were both ready for bigger bikes NOW. Brady got a Lighting McQueen 12" bike and coordinating helmet while Connor upgraded to a 16" bike (with dual shocks for his rough riding).
They rode those bikes ALL weekend...at home in the garage/patio area, on our front street, at Mimi's house, at Gma Darla's house. If they had been given the choice, they would have taken them to the zoo with us (can you imagine with those hills). At our house, they like to ride on the front street that dead ends to a cul-de-sac. There is just enough of an incline that they get a couple houses down, turn around, and they can coast back down. No fear - Brady even lets go with his feet to get the full impact of coasting. At Gma Darla's, they were out riding their bikes with the cousins all afternoon and as expected, there were a few crashes (especially since Ethan just learned how to ride without training wheels). Cousin Tyler, who is only 1, even wanted to join in the action. Here is a cute video of them trying out the new bikes on Saturday morning with crashes included...
