Bike Riding

Eden and I are going bike riding tomorrow. I am a bit wibbly wobbly at the moment but we are going to ride at the lake and it is relatively flat there so I won't have to worry about gears as well as my balance.

We have been walking at the lake and the children have been riding their bikes. Una is still learning and is going really well but is unsure of how to handle problems when they crop up. Yesterday she and Dougal were riding along and she was getting a bit to close to him. He yelled at her to move and she was trying to move across when disaster struck. She ran over a bird. Poor darling she was so distressed and started crying. The bird was flip flopping all over the place trying to get its balance. Eden picked it up and spread out its wings to check for damage and popped it in some long grass nearby. Fortunately it wasn't hurt and shortly afterwards it flew away. Una was very relieved. I was so surprised as I expected the bird to get out of her way but it was a fat pigeon and probably a bit too lazy to move quickly. That is one for the family memory books.
