Welcome to our month of BIKE RIDING.
It feels like our entire June film is made up of my kids riding their bikes - but that's honestly because that's what we spent MOST of the month doing!
At the beginning of the month, neither Braelynn or Leander knew had to ride a bike. I got them bikes this past spring at a consignment sale, but this was the first time they really decided that they wanted to buckle down and learn how to ride.
So, I love that you can see the entire progression - from slow, nervous, not-knowing-what-to-do, to learning to balance, to learning to peddle, to learning to turn, to learning to go FAST - it's amazing!
I am so proud of Braelynn! She did some hard work to teach herself how to ride her bike. And she did it entirely on her own - sure we were there to help, encourage, and guide her - but SHE had to do it, and she did! And I'm crazy proud of her!
I feel like my kids grow up right before my eyes over the course of this last month.
Moments of note this month:
(0:25) Braelynn discovered a bird in one of our bushes
(0:33) We babysat my nephew Leo one evening (while his Mommy and Daddy went out to dinner) and it was the BEST
(1:04) My baby sister Ruby turned 18 years old!
(2:27) Derrick's birthday is also in June - so I invited everyone over and planned a little get-together to celebrate. I told everyone that we'd be outside AND THEN IT RAINED.
(5:08) Let the bike-riding begin!
(6:12) The day that it CLICKED and Braelynn learned how to peddle (in my parent's backyard!)
(7:12) My favorite video clip EVER - Braelynn was getting more confident in her biking, and trying to figure out how to turn, but she didn't quite make it and crashed into our bushes - we laughed SO HARD when we watched this back and still laugh so hard!
(7:51) We advanced to riding down the longer stretch of sidewalk across from our house
(9:13) Mastering "the turn"
(9:27) We took Ruby to Kennywood for an afternoon and had so much fun (even though it rained!)
(11:35) We took the bikes to the park - and that's when Braelynn learned she could go FAST!
(11:46) Visiting Great-Grandma and showing her the kids' new biking skills

My goal is to take all the little videos I take over the course of a month & create a short (my goal is to be around 10 minutes) video of my favorite snippets. I am SO excited to finally have a dedicated place to chronicle my family videos & keep them safe & accessible. #HomeMovies
All videos captured on my iPhone 14 Pro!
Enjoy a tiny little peek into what our June looked like!
