Hooray For Old Bikes ...

 

The kids relaxing on this cool morning ...
after breakfast out they went outside to ride the bikes ...
the boys found old bikes (Nathan & Ian's) at the back of the shop awhile ago ...
Grandpa and Craig had worked on them ...
putting two bikes together to make one bike for Craig ...
and the bike that James is riding ...
was being thrown out by a neighbour in Alberta ...
so I figured I would bring it home for the grandchildren to play on ...
Grandpa had told me that he still had one more bike to fix up ...
that will be the next project for the kids ...
at the rate we are going we will have one for each of the grandchildren ...

 

The kids worked really hard in making a bike track ...

raking the needles and cones into a pile along the path ...

the boys also gathered old wood and bricks to make a couple of jumps ...
Ella was right in there helping the boys ...

they had worked for hours for a couple days ...

and had a blast riding around their track ...

 Craig ready to jump off the ramp and head down the steep hill ...

James ready to tackle the track and steep hill ...

looks scary to me ... 

they had quite the circuit to follow ...

With the kids working on the track early morning ...

gave me enough time to clean up the house and pack everything up ...

for us to leave for home to see mommy and daddy ...

after a busy week at Grandmas ...
