Bankrupt Lot Playground

Ever since Thomas got his bike for Christmas he has been anxiously waiting to ride his dirt bike somewhere other than the cul-de-sac. So a few Saturdays ago we found an open lot with plenty of what his bike needed, a lot of dirt. Jack got his turn first while Kate anxiously waited for her first lesson.

Thomas was off before I could get a picture.

Next is was Kate's turn. I was a little nervous because the dirt bike is quite a bit heavier than her pedal bike and she was wearing flip flops. Not exactly safe. She was determined to learn to ride. I love that about her. She's not going to be left in her brother's dust.

With a few and I mean a few instructions she was off.

She did awesome. No fear today from this little lady.

She was very happy with herself. It was what I like to call a BSE (building self esteem) experience.

While waiting for their turn Jack and Thomas climbed the huge dirt pile in the middle of the empty lot. They got a little help from a rope with sandbags attached.

Jack was terrified and wanted to get down and Thomas keep trying to help him. He eventually gave up and left Jack behind and made it to the top be himself.
