Bikes and Such

The tires on both girls' bikes went flat at the end of the last summer.  No amount of pumping would help.  It was weird...dry rot maybe?  Or just bad inner tubes.  Last week, we finally decided to either replace the tubes or buy new bikes.  Allie really needs a new bike because she's grown a ton, but we decided to make her ride her smaller one this summer so she can jump up to a much bigger bike next summer rather than buying an in between size.  Jaelyn's bike still fits her just fine ;).  The tubes only cost about $5 each, but in the middle of the changing process I was thinking new bikes would have been the way to go.  Sheez. 

We started our weekend with a Friday evening bike ride on base.  We went about 3 miles.
