My Pink Bike

For Christmas, Maddie's Great Grandma Hamilton bought her a pink tricycle. Maddie was so excited, but could not really ride it on our sidewalks ... too many bumps.

I took her to Forest Park for a good long ride ... and she had so much fun. I snapped a million photos ...

"My pink bike!"
"OK ... how does this thing work ..."
"I think I'm getting it!"
"I need a break ... that is lots of hard work!"
"Push feet, push!"
"Yeah! A hill! Maddie fast (that is an actual quote)"
"Sneaky eyes make me go faster!"
I am sorry ... she is just too beautiful.
Here she is refusing to smile for the camera. Some of you may have seen this face before. This is Nick's face ... just in a pink hat.
... but I cracked her!


"Oh my goodness ... what are they doing?"

"My ice kate? My ice kate with Daddy?"
(mommy says yes ... for this weekend)
"I will be the greatest ice skater the world has ever known ..."
What a great day!
