Big Wheel Bonanza






So, did you ever have a bike or big wheel when you where a kid? Gabe got a bike for Christmas and enjoys it but had been very uneasy about the height off the ground and the side to side movement of it. He is learning and doing well. It helps that Nana and Grandpa LOVE mountain biking and go almost every weekend. He has had a Big Wheel for about six months and finds it much easier to ride. It wasn't until this weekend that he learned just how fast he could make it go. He was been riding it on the flat ground which had been very good for learning how to pedal and steer, but watch out neighbors because he has discovered the rush of picking up his feet while going down hill. What a rush! What Speed! It is so fun to watch him have this "untouchable" feeling. He did ask me if he can wear goggles so the dust won't get in his eyes. I can't wait to complete the look! He did have a scare when he closed his eyes for a few minutes because of the dust. He stopped steering and almost drove right off the bank! It would have been bad lets just leave it at that.
