This is what it is all about

A little back story here.....Austin is 11 yrs old. We live in a rural area, so he has had a hard time learning how to ride a bike. I have been teaching him in our yard, this way if he fell it wouldnt hurt too bad right? So after many days in the yard, I convinced him it was time to try a better surface. So when Brendan had football practice, I took Austin to the parking lot and let him try. He was scared at first, but after a few times, he loved it and went faster and faster and then he didnt want to stop.
 
So next it was to the trail in Washington by the river. Austin was so excited to go riding on the trail there.
 
And he was off, unfortunately he only has 1 speed, so I didnt see him again until we got to the end of the trail. It was 2.5 miles one way. He was happily waiting for Brendan and I at the end.
 
Yea Brendan wanted. his picture taken with the johnny on the spot in the background, he said it would be so Hoosier and cool,what a freak.
  
 
Austin was so happy and proud of himself, he made it the whole way and back w/o falling off or hurting himself. At the end he was waiting in the parking lot for us, "what took you guys so long????"
