We had a nice, wet January and February and the spring was gorgeous. Lush green on all of the hills and flowers popping out all over. We went on a bike ride across the street in O’Neill Park just as the wildflowers were nearing their peak bloom.
Henry turned three in December and put a check mark next to one of the required rites of passage for children: getting a first bicycle. We gave it to him on his actual birthday and let him tool around for a bit ahead of his party on the weekend.
You might have noticed from previous pictures that she was getting a little large for her first bike so for her 5th birthday Emma received a shiny new Hello Kitty bicycle. She was absolutely beaming from ear to ear when she started riding around the neighborhood.
Emma’s had a bicycle for quite some time now and is really quite good at riding. I wanted to expand her range a bit so one afternoon we headed across the street into the canyon to let her ride on a wide open path. A trip back the next day ended in disaster.
