First order of business was getting those new bikes out for a spin.
Please admire the helmets; Daddy almost had a stroke getting them adjusted correctly.
As you can see, not a whole lot of actual pedaling was going on. Colin's legs are just a bit short for his bike; we need to get him some pedal blocks. Gillian can reach her pedals, and she actually did try to pedal bit, but I think it was still harder than just pushing with her feet. They had a ball anyway.
They still got a little Mommy/Daddy help too!
After a good bit of biking, we packed the trikes up in the car and walked over to Colin's favorite "Shaky Bridge" playground.
Then we took off down the hill to check out a big tree stump. A winter storm must have done in a big, old tree and the park service cut it down this spring. We enjoyed the stump; Michael counted the rings and we estimate it was about 100 years old. Very impressive.
They liked stuffing a hole in the middle of the stump with sticks and telling us it "was for the birdies." No idea what that means.
(Note to self: Shower on mornings Daddy brings the camera to the park)
We checked out the nearby stream, dog park, and bridge too. We got a lot done on our ONE nice day. Please, please, please STOP RAINING.

I love the bikes! What a cool Easter present! The kids look like they really love them, and it looks like you had some gorgeous weather (for once). We had awesome weather in CT all weekend, but I heard it rained off and on here. I, too, am SO SICK of the rain! Enough already! Oh! We have decided that we are coming to Pittsburgh later this month. I think we are getting there on the 24th and leaving on the 26th. Let me know if you have some time, and we can plan to get the kids together.
I absolutely love the look on G's face when she is riding her trike! Awesome photos as always!
