Watch Out World - Here she COMESSS!

Amazing!

This week Marin's friend Nathan got his training wheels off!  Yeah - Nathan!  Marin was so excited that she asked for hers off too - I was a little nervous about doing this since we ride places everyday - back and forth to the school or to the park or to the YMCA which is about 2 miles.  I had big plans for biking all summer long and I was not sure how this would happen.

Day 1 -  Thursday:  Morgan took them off and they practiced in the front of the house - pretty good but she will still crashing pretty regularly.  That night we tossed back on the training wheels to ride to the YMCA for swim lessons.

Here is a YouTube link of the video too   Day 1: Marin riding her bike!

Friday we left the training wheels on for the ride to the YMCA for free swim - Morgan raised them up so she had to work harder.  We rode with Nathan and his family which only made Marin more determined

Day 2:  Saturday:  Training wheels back off and we were off to our school to practice in the empty parking lot - well, she did it!  She was off with no problem and she is fast!!

We headed to a park for some long bike riding (3.3 miles) and she was awesome!  She still needs some help to get started but she was able to navigate the up and down hills and even has learned how to use her brakes.  We were so excited!  She got it and we had so much fun watching her!! 

Great job Marin!!!  We are so proud of you!!
