Willa rides a bike....sort of !

Willa has been talking about a bike for a while now so this week we borrowed her friend Riley's bike to try out. She hasn't gotten off since!! This bike is called a scoot. It is made without pedals... it is supposed to teach balance so kids can go straight to a bike without training wheels. I think it might work... Willa flies on tat thing!

Safety first... helmet and full tires

Slow Start
Daddy gives her a hand




Solo ride





Practicing on the porch

Uncle Jim and Aunt Jana Visit

Jana and Jim came for a visit (and a nice getaway to Vancouver Island) and to meet Adlai. We spent time hanging out, heading to parks and even went to the aquarium in Vancouver.... so fun! We wished they lived closer!

Willa has labeled all our parks in town by the color of the slides.. this is the blue park.

A little bit of chute and ladders. Note: Willa cheats!

You can't visit Bellingham without a trip to Rocket do-nuts!
