Camping

We didn't camp over Easter due to the weather so the whole family went camping April 17th - 19th instead.  It rained off and on so we'd do something in the camper and then we'd go out to ride bikes and such.  The kids had a lot of fun with their cousins and with two little girls in the camper next to ours.  I spent some time running beside Maggie's bike while she was building up her confidence.  She still has training wheels on but gets fearful when she gets going faster.  Mena is confident on the bigger bike with training wheels to ride ahead of me.  She really wants to go up on the road behind the campers but I told her she has to be able to ride up the hill without walking her bike before I'll let her ride up there.  She practiced on that hill over and over.  She gets fearful going down the hill and is learning to use her brakes to slow herself down.  One time when I wasn't watching, Mena got on her bike without her helmet and then crashed.  She scraped up her face but no fat lip.  Luckily her sweatshirt and pants protected her arm and leg.  When we got home the girls just wanted to rest in bed with their tablets.  They were really quiet all the rest of the day!
