It's so simple to be a kid. This past weekend, we didn't do anything special in my opinion but I think my kids had so much fun just to ride their bikes in the parking lot.
Our house is on the slope so we can't really ride the bike on the street in front of our house. Luckily, we live very close to the community pool. And being in the dead of winter (seriously? It's in the high 60 that day), the pool is closed and there hardly was anyone in the tennis court. So we took over the parking lot there.
My daughter just got this new bike this past Christmas. She was begging for girl bike. See! We are into "Green Living" so we tend to reuse stuff (AKA hand-me-down) items from friends. I don't really mind. They grow so fast (not so much in my children's case anyway) so it's kinda make more sense to save for their college. Anyway, off the topic here. So we had an old bike from our friend which is still in a pretty decent shape. Except it's in a boy-ish look. So Santa granted her wish this year.
My son is way too small for the bike with training wheel. So he settles with a tricycle which I think he starts to get a hang of riding it. Good thing I got him a helmet set a few week ago. We can already see the scratch on the knee pads and helmet. Plus when we got home, we got the proof to show daddy that he did ride his bike. He fell a few times. And one time he did manage to scrape his upper lip a bit. Ouch!!! But all in all they had a blast. And yet we didn't even have to spend a dime!!!
