Look MOM no training wheels!!!!

I have been trying to get the bikes out of the garage and started for several weeks now. The boys bikes took a little trying but started up the first day I tried. Mine on the other hand was quite a bit more difficult. I have had it out on several different occasions trying to get it started with no luck. I tried the electric start, kicking, jumping it off my truck. Nothing would do the trick. I thought today might be the day and so I got it out and used jumper cables to hopefully charge it enough to get it started. That didn't work. Finally after messing with some things I jumped back on it to give it one more kick to see if that would work. The sun was shinning on me today. It started and stayed running. I didn't know what to do nor did I have a clue what I did to get it going. While I was doing this Austin came out and wanted to start his also and with starting it of course comes riding. Not soon thereafter Taylor comes tearing into the drive way on his bicycle from a friends house. He said he was hungry and actually did eat something but my hunch is that he heard the roar of the bikes and didn't want to get left out.

My plan all winter was to get his training wheels off so he could start practicing without them before the heart of the riding season hit. Sounded like a pretty good time to do it. Since he hadn't been riding for awhile I told him and Austin to go to the backyard to ride for a little bit. When I finally got out there my lawn where the turned around was well let's just say it was aerated. This is what it looked like. It doesn't nearly do it justice.

I figured I better get Taylor's training wheels off quickly before my lawn was gone since I knew it was him that was doing it. I thought once they were off he might be a little reluctant to ride and may need a little help. Boy was I wrong. He is a little slower now than he was, but once he gets comfortable I know it won't be long before I am eating his dust.
