Malia's New "Big Girl" Bike

Well, I guess we can cross this off the birthday list! Our neighbors across the cul-de-sac had some friends over the other night who had a daughter with a new bike. Malia was in awe of her and the bike (she's 4). As they rode their bikes (Malia was on her red "Radio Flyer" tricycle), the mom mentioned that Malia might like their old bike. Thinking it wouldn't happen, or that it would be something junky that they just wanted to get rid of.........the next night they brought the bike over! It's a Huffy & in pretty good shape. Here are a few pictures of Malia trying it out for the first time. (They aren't the greatest pictures, I still need to read the owner's manual for the new camera on night pictures).

Yesterday we went and bought a new helmet for her so she can ride to the park........(it was a special combo pack that came with knee pads too). Rourke said he won't take her to the park if she wears the knee pads! :) (The bike DOES have training wheels.)
