Spring Hijinks
Since the last post, Spring does seem to have arrived! The snow has melted away like, well like snow under a warm Spring sun. The kids have dug their bikes out of the shed and I’ve adjusted seat heights and training wheels to compensate for 6 months worth of growing. The streets are still covered in gravel and the danger of road rash is ever-present, but obviously the thrill of two-wheeled freedom is sufficient to overcome the risk to life and limb.
The melting snow does provide wonderful opportunities to get wet and muddy and a child’s mind is ceaselessly searching for ways to obtain the maximum amount of enjoyment with the tools at hand. In this case, a puddle in the gutter of the street, a bicycle with training wheels of exactly the right span to suspend the bike’s rear wheel in the water but not touching the pavement and a willing “victim” was enough to fill the bill!

Yay for mud!! If Mark can get that wet and muddy on a city street, imagine what we could do up here at our place 🙂 Looks like fun!
