Gavin Rides a Bike

We spent half the day Saturday trying to get Gavin to get on this "big" bike. We were mostly met with these arguments: "When I'm 5 I'll ride that big bike" and "My legs are this much too small for that bike" and "I like to ride the little car." After much coaching, he finally got on the bike and we were over-the-top about praising him for it! That might have been a more interesting video, Ben and I jumping up and down, giving high fives, and exclaiming "wow, you are such a BIG BOY!" This video was taken on Sunday. As we suspected, once he got over the initial reluctance to get on the bike and push the pedals, he would love it. And he did.

The next video I need to take is of my 22 month old speaking in almost complete sentences. I suppose that it is normal for the younger sibling to learn more quickly when they have another kid to teach them.

Camping

Here's some photos from our camping trip over Memorial Day weekend to Lake Louise. We met up with Hailee, Chad, Jessica, and Dominic and had lots of fun roasting marshmallows, hanging out by the campfire, and throwing rocks into the lake.





And this last picture is just for fun. Rommel, Gavin, and Kiernan all together. It is harder than you think to get a 4 year old, a 22 month old, and a dog to all look the same direction at the same time.
