Introducing...the BIKE!

It was 103 degrees today.
I knew the BIKE was coming and when I received the phone call from the happy man at Numotion, I felt like a child at Christmas.

And he came like he said he would.

Very kind. Very patient. Very Sweaty.

Delivering the BIKE with a smile, dress-up pants, square-toed oxfords and white sunglasses...which June promptly ripped off his face (I gave him permission to wear something cooler when it breaks 100).

June knew that THAT was her shiny red-raspberry bike.

And for a very brief second we had to take her off of it so we could adjust the seat, turn some screws, sign some papers. 

Of course she immediately threw her body on the ground in convulsions, thrashing with rage, spitting fire and hurling insults because she thought we were sending back her new toy. The gall of these people.

SO we took it for a test drive...
Along with the rest of the circus.

Sass (short for Sassafras) went and got her bike when we weren't looking.

Getting a slow start here...the poor 6 year old was patient

And they are off!

 

 

I must say we only made it around the block...but mostly because everyone was roasting and dripping and Sass was moving at a snail's pace in her rain boots and walking-the-bike technique.

Super pumped and proud of herself!

June would like to thank Numotion for having such a knowledgeable and friendly team of mobility specialists and she would ESPECIALLY like to thank the Bloomfield Group for their generous grant which aided us greatly in the purchase of this trike.
