A new bike for a sweet little girl

Kim finally figured out how to peddle her Dora trike a few weeks ago but it was hard for her to steer. So after a walk to the store that she road her trike about half way and then I had to carry it back home she ran in the house and told her dad that she wanted a big girl princess bike. So we've been talking about it since. She knew what she wanted. A pink bike with princesses on it and sparkles but without sparkles on the seat. So Friday evening we went to Walmart and got the bike she wanted. She was so excited she had to ride it through the store to the register to pay for it.

She's is still figuring out that there are brakes on her bike and that she shouldn't just put her feet down when she's moving (she's had a couple of crashes). And she's getting the whole steering thing down so she's not just riding in a straight line and off the road.

Hopefully in a short time she'll get good enough at it to be able to ride on the trail while I walk. This is going to be a great summer.
