Ever since Emily's Cousin, Eliza, got a "Big Girl Bike with training wheels for her birthday in March that is all Emily has wanted! But we have been able to miraculously hold her off a bit. And for those of you who don't know this about us, WE LOVE THE GOODWILL, and our kids love it too! We go there about once every week or two just to look around and the girls can't get enough of it!! And so one of those days in June we were looking around and Daddy lucked up and found this cute little pink and purple tricycle!! Emily was in LOVE!! Of course, before she could ride it needed quite a bit of TLC:) So we brought it home, washed it, shined it, changed a tire and got some training wheels!! Emily was thrilled, and I think it made it even better that she was able to help with each stage of getting her bike ready!! Our neighborhood was going to be having a bike parade on the morning of July 4th so our goal was to have it ready by then!! We worked and worked and finally it was ready!! And Emily was so excited, and proud as a little peacock, that she got to ride in the Bike parade with her new bike and helmet!!
And, you know us, we took pictures each step of the way, for memories sake, ya know?:)
