Shannon - Transportation is a big issue for us here. We really have struggled without a car. Our trip to church today involved a 2km bike ride, 2 train rides, a bus ride and a walk. It's always frustrating. Anyway, I had many choices of what to put as my transportation picture, but I settled on this one of Noah watching out of the window of the train. No matter how many times we ride the train, it still holds some excitement for the kids.
Chad - As biking has moved from entertainment to transportation the need to get the kids more independent has increased. When we moved here Myra was close but not really riding a bike. One of the first things they told us at her school was that she need to learn because they would take field trips that required her to ride a bike. So I bought the kids bike and started running around behind them. Myra picked it up fast and quickly progressed to trying to ride with no feet or hands. Lexi, has been more timid and reluctant. She can balance and turn but is scared to do it on her own, she won't really try to start off by herself or stop. This picture was taken with me getting her going from behind, then running in front to take the picture as she past. The tilted angle is actually because it is a hurried shot and not an attempt to be artistic - but who's going to know?
