Birch Park

Van has been doing great on his big kid bike, so I decided to venture out for a trip to the nearest park. Unfortunately, unlike our culdesac days, Birch park is about a mile away, on mostly dirt roads, with plenty of hills.
It was an adventure for sure.

That face!

Heading up the driveway. I look like such a mom.

Here's the crew, ready to head out.

This was Van's favorite.

After much swinging, we finally had to head home. The trip back was mostly uphill, difficult on a new rider to say the least, but I was impressed with his perseverance.
