Last week Stuart took the kids out on a bike ride and Brooklyn's bike broke. So this past weekend we decided to get Brooke a new bike and also get Jack a bike. He's been riding a trike and a little plastic Dora bike. After visiting about 6 different Goodwills in the area, we got Brooklyn a bike for $5 and Jack a bike for $2! Super great deals. Stuart had to do some tinkering with them and exchanging parts from Brookes old bike but he got them working. After they were finished we drove them down to the middle school and rode bikes in the empty parking lot. The kids had such a blast! Here are some pictures
Brooklyn riding her "new" princess bike.
And off he goes. I totally love his helmet.
He was a little grumpy because he kept on putting on the brake and couldn't get it to work.
Stuart bought this handle bar to put on the back of Chloe's bike so she can learn to ride without training wheels.
What a dirty little face!
Dirty, but super pretty!
All 3 of them. Don't they look like they were having fun?
Jack on the way home. He wouldn't take off his helmet and wouldn't let go of his bike.

What a fun outing! Super cute bikes at such a great price! Good job!
A hint on helping Chloe ride w/o training wheels: Take off the pedals for a few days. Then she just pushes with her feet, but really learns to balance. Caleb did that for like a day and then he could ride with no training wheels!
That's so cute. They are all so excited. Good job on the bikes. They're cute too.
that was from grandma k on my site
We love to ride bikes! So much fun!
Too much fun! Bikes are the best. Taking the training wheels off scare me to death. I wish the kids could always have 'em on there. Best of luck with Chloe!
