Parker learned to ride his bike without training wheels about a week before his fifth birthday, and we are so proud of him. These photos and videos are from that day--they show his very first few times riding all by himself! We took him down to the playground at the elementary school, and he "got it" so quickly. He was having so much fun, he just kept saying, "Again! Again!" It was awesome to see him excited and happy--he wasn't timid or scared at all, and the few spills he took didn't phase him. He became an official bike rider that day, and just gets better and better every time he rides. His favorite thing is to ride on dirt trails, so we're trying to think of some easy, flat trails (with the occasional fun dip or bump) near us to ride on--which is great, because it feels a lot safer to ride without cars around, and falling onto dirt feels a lot softer (and more fun) than concrete. I think he's going to be a great mountain biker :) We're really looking forward to going on bike rides as a family, even Levi absolutely loves to ride in the baby seat on Jared's bike!
