Today was Lindsay's fifth birthday. She moved up from the trailer to the Trail-A-Bike. I surprised her by telling her that we were going to the grocery store. You can see her spontaneous reaction to the bike below. This got a better reaction than all of the Tinkerbell and Ariel toys.
Here is a picture of us getting ready to go.
And we're off!
And this is my favorite picture of the afternoon. Why? Neither of us knew that picture was being taken. Take a look at Lindsay. That is one huge smile. She is already talking about going out for milkshakes on the rig.

That is too cool! Obviously you are both very excited. The last time I saw that much pure excitement was when my three-year-old got his first real bike.
Shortly thereafer, we had the agony of deknee. I told him not to try to jump that ramp on his first time out.
I love your Two Mile Challenge concept, by the way. I think I could be car-free if I did a Four Mile Challenge. I can't think of anything I'd need during the week that is further than four miles.

I just love this set of photos. They are to be treasured. Mine girls grew up.... and though I love the way they are now.... those earlier days were awesome. Happy Birthday Lindsay!
Thanks. This was probably the most exciting birthday yet. I did not think I would be able to keep the Trail-a-bike in the basement until her birthday.
As for the two mile challenge, it really has had a major impact on my life. While it is hard to be car free with three kids, I like to think of myself as car-lite.
