After Theo's last night of T-ball we couldn't resist the urge to bike a little further to Minnehaha Falls Park and have dinner at Sea Salt. "Hey, Theo, do you want to go to Minnehaha Falls?" "Yeah, there will be lots of cool bikes there!"With Theo and Henry in the Roo and Theo's bike perched on top, we pedaled on over. The falls were "turned on" as Theo put it, and flowing strongly. He was psyched. We bumped into Theo's best buddy from school - an added bonus. The fish fry food was really good, and the beer too. And the Sebastian Joe's ice cream was a treat for all. The bike ride home capped the evening off.
Theo has quickly moved beyond training wheels and is really biking well. After a half mile or so on the way home, he said, "I want to ride my bike". He rode over a mile and half all the way home! The commentary was particularly good (and loud, apologies to the neighbors):
"Hey guys, you shouldn't go out in the street when you still have a child on the sidewalk."
"I'm going to catch you, Daddy!"
"Hey, look at the cool garden. It has lots of plants. That's another nice garden."
"Wow, look at that house. It looks like a gingerbread house."
"Huh, what is this part of the neighborhood? We haven't been here before. Are you sure this is the way home, Mommy?"
"Whoa, look, a fire, let's go faster!"
"Oooh, it is spooky. I think it is Halloween." (As it gets dark and we pass thick tree cover)
