Learning to Ride

 While in the states Caleb bought training wheels for the little XR50 that he brought over for the kids to learn to ride. After giving a little tutorial on the throttle, brake, and how to steer, both kids got a chance to show off their stuff.

Elsa said 'wee!' and posed for a picture.

 Ezra promptly ran into a bush.

 Ezra, though, shows a lot of promise. He definitely gets the idea of steering and using the throttle smoothly to keep the bike moving. His main problem is that he likes to look behind him so that he can watch himself 'make dust'. Elsa, I think, will be a lot like me--riding because it's something to do with Daddy and she doesn't want to be left out.

 I am mentally kicking the pants off our thief who stole the video camera out of our bag for making me miss getting this all on film.
