Look Mom!!

Last summer was Grace's big debut, and this summer is Tristan's...  We've been watching Grace practically hit her knees on her chin while riding her bike, so David headed down with his tools to raise her seat.  I suggested that while he was down there he may as well take Tristan's training wheels off.
Off they came!
And off he went!
He really doesn't like going up our little sloped road though!
His first "crash". 
He basically stopped and let go of the bike instead of putting his foot down and keeping his bike upright.
There's that darn hill again!
David thought it best to put our little dare devil in full pads - for safety sake.
Ready to go - guns and all.  Just in case he needs to protect anyone.
Just in case you didn't know - he's the coolest kid around, I mean, just look at him.
"Slow down Tristan!" David says.
We're still working on the steering and stopping part...

Over all he did a fabulous job and got back on after he fell - even the time he hit his chin on the handlebars and made him cry.
