She's a Bike Rider

Our Ellee girl is a bike rider.  And with warmer weather right around the corner, we are finding more and more days to get outside for a ride.  

When Ellee was a toddler, one of our amazing youth group students brought by a beautiful Schwinn bike that he had found for her.  I remember thinking that it was such a kind gesture, but at the time, it was hard to imagine her being big enough for the bike.  Fast forward a few years to now... and the bike is the absolutely perfect size.  A huge thank you to Andrew for being so thoughtful too.

A few weeks ago, we went into Center Moriches, to visit the bike shop there, where we found this awesome set of training wheels.  I'll be honest, I'm not in a rush to push our baby girl into riding assistance-free.  Like everything else in her life, there will be a time and place.  For now though, she dominates.  

And she does it in her own typical Ellee girl style.  

When I saw this, I wondered if there were laws about five year olds, texting while bike riding?

We had a beautiful afternoon.  Ellee took a fun ride to the school, in all her courageous bike-riding glory and it brought me such joy to see her.  I absolutley love that our girl loves to ride her bike.
