Training wheels? Not me!

OK, here goes: post #1 of our summer catch-up.

A couple of weeks ago, Gwendolyn attended a Pedalheads bicycle camp, training wheels firmly attached to her bicycle. By the end of the first day, the training wheels were off. By the end of the week, she was riding like this:


Big thanks go to Ian, Gwendolyn's group leader. His patience and enthusiasm made all the difference!

We haven't been able to practice as much as we'd like since camp, but a brief session last evening in our parkade confirmed that the basic skills are still solidly in place. All we really have to remember is: "pedal-pedal-pedal!"

Superkids!

We are woefully behind on our reports from a busy summer: arts, gymnastics and bicycling camps, trips to Ontario and Seattle, and swim lessons that just wrapped up this afternoon. Hopefully, Daddy can dedicate some time for blogging this coming week.

In the meantime, enjoy this particularly awesome photograph of two terrific kids: Ben and Gwendolyn, Vancouver's dynamic Superduo. We're clearly in safe hands, folks...
