The kids and I like walking to our mailbox, which is about a quarter mile there and back. If I push the babies in the stroller and the big kids either walk or ride bikes, we can make it to the mailbox and back in about 20 minutes. Yesterday however, the babies wanted to ride their bikes too. I figured it was a nice day, little breeze, we can handle it, right? NOT!
This picture was taken after 20 minutes into the walk. That's my van in the background, parked in our driveway. That means we've walked...ONE house. Not to the mailbox and back. (Remember that I can push babies in the stroller to and from the mailbox in 20 minutes.) Yes, folks, we got NEXT DOOR in 20 minutes riding bikes. Guess the girls need a lot more practice. Maybe Daddy can make us a bike path around the perimeter or our back yard. Then I can watch the bike riding practice from the shaded porch while sipping something cool, keep the kids all contained within our back yard and not have to worry about someone riding into the street. Just an idea. Hint hint to Matt. :)
By the way, we did end up getting the mail, after turning around and getting the stroller. :)

It'll get better. It used to take us a good 20 minutes or so to walk the girls down to the end of the street, then we took them around the block with took forEVER! I'm finally brave enough to take them by myself, with Z in the stroller, and we can go halfway around and back (to avoid walking down the busy street) in about 30/45 minutes, sometimes less. The more we do it, the better they get at it. Of course they have to stop and draw on every lamp post along the way.
