The piles of snow around here have made it impossible for the kids to get out and ride their bikes but last week we found a solution to that problem - an indoor bike and skate park! And it's only 5 minutes from our house!
I had been a little hesitant to take the kids because I wasn't sure exactly how well suited it would be for younger kids but after hearing rave reviews from friends we decided to check it out. Boy am I glad we did! It is a fantastic place with wonderful staff and an enormous amount of space for the kids to play, ride, and learn new tricks (literally!).
I left with both kids begging to go back and then talking about it constantly this past week. So today we went back. This time both kids were more comfortable and started trying out some new skills on the ramps. Benj has been practicing on his balance at home over the past couple of days and can now race down our driveway:
(I'm sure I'm going to have a heart attack one of these days!)
So after just a few minutes today he was riding confidently up and down the ramps on the street course. Julia got some tips from the fabulous instructor and was soon doing the same! Both kids were super proud of themselves for being able to keep up with the "big kids."
There is also a ramp they can slide down and a foam pit to jump in so when they need a break from riding there's a lot to keep them busy!
