Bike Riders!

We have been trying to get Alexa and Boston to take off the training wheels on their bikes.  They have tried a few times with a LOT of whining.  So, today Boston asked Frankie to help him and after just a few times, he was riding.  As soon as Alexa saw this she wanted to do it also.  Frankie got her balanced, gave a little push and off she went by herself.  They were so excited.  
Alexa had great balance and figured it out really fast. She was mad when it got dark and we made her come in for the night.  She had a huge grin and was so proud of herself!  She was concentrating and very quiet (unlike her little brother)!
Boston was a MADMAN!  Once he got started he went all out.  He fell more times than I can count.  On one of the last falls he said "again!!  What the Freakin' HECK am I doing!"   jumped back on and went again.  He would hit the curbs flying and then fall.  We were having the best laugh.  He made lots of noises and peddled as fast as he could.
They did so good.  GREAT job guys!
