a beautiful night at the park

Recently, we all packed up and decided to go check out some garage sales, or as a friend of mine says, "We're going trashin'!"  It's true.  One man's trash is another man's treasure.  I'm usually not up for the task of finding a "diamond in the rough", but I have had so many friends come up with great things lately that I had to give it a try.

One thing we found was a bike for Emma that was $10.  It was in perfect shape.  We had talked about upgrading from the tricycle, but we didn't really want to fork out the money.  You see, it's not because we're cheap.  It's because Emma is a month away from being 4 and has never really got on to the whole pedaling thing.  We have spent countless hours pushing Emma around trying to teach her.  However, at this price we could afford it.

And apparently, this bike is just what she needed!  She has been doing a great job.  Now if we could just get the pedaling and the steering down at the same time...

It was a beautiful day yesterday, so we decided to pack up and head to the park after dinner.  We grabbed the bikes for them to ride on the trails.


Yeah, we're still in the pushing stage with Ava...










And to top off a fun night we went to McDonald's for their kiddie ice cream cone!
