Learning to Ride


Matthew spent the long weekend with us. He brought out his bike to learn to ride. The first thing we did was take off the training wheels. It was time to get serious! We spent some time on Thursday night letting him get used to the bike and balancing himself and just coasting along without putting his feet down. Friday morning, he was up and at it early. By 10am Friday morning he was pedaling and really getting the hang of it. He spent the rest of the weekend riding all over the ranch and loving it! The first thing he did in the morning was go outside and get on his bike. Way to go Mud!!! Here he is with Uncle Lee's german motorcycle helmet on...

And here he is....just before he ran into the
back of Uncle Grant's truck...
