two wheelin--finally!

So we set out this morning with Charlie excited to take the training wheels off his bike and try it out and came home with heather a happy two wheeler! Jeff lowered her seat and handlebars and she was much more comfortable, refusing anyones help and figureed it out on her own. Charlie had high hopes and did pretty well with one training wheel off (while Sara drove back to teh house to get the tools to take the other off) but wasn't too sure about both off. It was hard for him to get started and he stopped pedaling if we let go all the way. His recollection is, "i kind of did it for a little while bymyself!" He was completely frustrated when Heather caught on but with the training wheels back on was a little terror. They had a good time and ended the bike time happily by riding down each lane of the parking lot we were in. We came back, had lunch and went to the pool to cool off. After an hour of playing and sliding and diving board they were ready to go but then saw friends so charlie had to put his swimsuit back on (no dressing room needed) to get back in. Another hour and a short nap for Cameron went by and we were on our way. After dinner I got to sneak out with a few friends and see "The Proposal" which was cute and Jeff set up the living room for yet another campout. I believe it is almost 11 pm and all are sleeping...
