new bike

Rachel's princess bike was way too small for her, so we've been looking at new ones for her.  Today we walked into a big bike sale without even planning on it, and walked out with a new Barbie bike for Rachel!

Daddy was teaching her to brake--he's been trying all spring/summer to teach her, and she finally got it today.

We went for a short family bike ride, including Rebecca in the bike trailer--her first ride in it. 

Next step....getting rid of the training wheels.  We're thinking it's going to be quite awhile before she learns that, seeing that it took her forever to learn just to use the brakes!
