Before heading to a school yard this morning to meet up with a bunch of friends for a bike play date, I had to snap a couple pics of the kids in their new helmets.

If a bike helmet can be somewhat cool and maybe even adorable...these are :) Gotta keep the kidlets' noggins just as safe as can be, right? These will certainly do the job well - and in style, to boot!

When Jacob saw the new helmets, he said:

"Can I get one, too?"

The man does, after all, commute to work on his bike every day - 14 miles round trip.

We love blocking off our driveway with cones and letting the kids go wild on their wheels. Sawyer has gotten good enough that when we walked to the park a week or so back, we let him ride along with us on the busy busy street. (sidewalk of the street that is). He got the hang of coasting and it was so fun to see him go! I think my next test is to see if he can ride around Greenlake while I run (about 3 miles).

I hope everyone is having a happy, safe, week! Enjoying these last days (hopefully weeks) of summer to the MAX!
