Riding his bike to Vincents

Alex had a very big day today. After a power struggle with Ben over riding the trailer bike (Ben wanted to ride it instead of his own bike), I decided to let Alex ride his own bike - on the sidewalk - over to his best friend Vincent's house. Vincent's house is 8 blocks away and a pretty decent steady uphill slope.

Alex stopped a few times to rest, remarked about how heavy his backpack was (it was) and arrived extremely proud over to his friend's house.

Alex also helped Grandpa Chuck take Elie for a walk (with Alex holding Elie most of the way) and helped Grandma Zannah and Ben pull lots of weeds from the yard.
