New bicycles!!!

We finally bought some new bikes for the boys.  Well, we meant to only buy a new one for Graham as we had to sell his when we left Abu Dhabi.  But of course Charlie really wanted one too!
What is with this kid and Captain America!?! Ha ha... even with a matching helmet.  We lose Bobby and Graham as they take off first after we park but we finally spot them on the ramp:
Not sure if you can see them but Graham and Bobby are all the way at the top of the ramp.  And Bobby obviously didn't read the sign as I see him letting Graham ride his bike down. YIKES!!! Thankfully they soon discover it is too steep. Phew!

And the boys are off!
Unfortunately, neither Bobby nor I have a bike and so we would take turns running with them.  Talk about a good workout!  Okay.... your turn honey!!!
Bobby and I eventually got smart after a couple of runs.  He would be on one end and I would be on the other end.  Ha!
All good for the boys!!!
Photo bomb!
Bobby is click-happy with his new work iPhone :-)
Pretending to fall over the edge!
What a lovely sunset!  We stay for a bit longer to throw ball.  Graham and Charlie also have new baseball mitts. Christmas definitely came early for them!
The boys and their trees!!!
We are probably going to stick to the beach for a bit for cycling.  We went to trail the other day and there were lots of hills.  Graham really struggled going up the hill and then we wondered if he really did need a fancy bike with gears.  The dirt/gravel trail around that same area probably didn't help either. He had a couple of bad falls and thankfully no broken bones! Poor guy looks so sad here when he got home :-(
And thankfully Graham was ready to get back on his bike the next day!  Charlie is still using a bike with training wheels but I have plans on getting him back on the balance bike.  There is a slight downhill by school :-P
