So Merrik has recently mustered up the courage to try riding his bike without training wheels-again. He was ready to roll a year ago until he had a major wipeout on the hill at the end of our street. This time he’s trying a new technique of pushing off and peddling down a knoll of [...]

Merrik turns everything into a contest. We headed down to the beach trail in the afternoon recently and he was so excited that Maliea is now “riding” her bike. She doesn’t pedal but pushes herself along with her feet. I usually end up pushing her from behind to catch up with Merrik and after an [...]
next stop-the beach
After the harbor we HAD to go for a bike ride because we forgot to take the bike to the harbor. Nana Papa dropped us off at home and we loaded the Highlander up with beach gear and headed to Linda Lane. It’s nice to have the weather on our outdoorsy side again. We walked [...]

dream date
We had a fantastic day at the beach on Monday. After Merrik went to swim lessons we met up with Marley and Quin. It was Merrik’s perfect date. He and Marley competed for being in front on their two-wheelers all the way from the pier to North Beach and back. Merrik took a couple of [...]
biking at the pier
Merrik loves to take his bike down to the beach trail. He is amazing on it. It’s a rough ride but he is great. He’s getting good at skidding to a stop on the downhills. He calls it “jam” because his bike is a Tony Hawk Huck Jam bike. Pretty funny. Oh, and of course, [...]
