AND NOW HE'S OFF!!!!!

We had an awesome week camping. Food cooked over the fire always tastes WAY better. MMM mmm.

The racoons thought our food was really good too. We woke up one night to what we thought was a stray dog stealing our cookware. It turns out it was racoons raiding our garbage!!! It freaked the pants off me, but all was good.

The REALLY exciting news of the week was....

When Jason started riding a two-wheeler!!!!!

We spent the week next to two different families, both with bigger boys who could ride with two wheels. On the second last day there Jason came to me while I was washing dishes, and said, "Mom, I think I want to try and ride my bike without the training wheels." This made me very excited, as I had been trying to convince him for a couple of weeks. So, I thought Chris might be better at teaching him than I was, and asked him to give it a try. He removed the training wheels, took him to the top of a little hill, and Jason took off the FIRST try!!! We were all super excited. The people next to us, their kids, all of us were laughing and practically cheering for him. He kept saying over and over, "I found my balance today!!!"

So now he tells everyone that he sees that he can ride on two wheels. All he does is ride his bike now. Another milestone reached.
