Thank goodness for that truism! After about 6 years of not being on a bike–at all!–I managed to keep myself and my gear upright on two wheels for this session! It was not graceful, but it was functional enough!

I met Mom last summer at our kids’ activities. It’s strange to think that our preschoolers have “activities” but, yet, they did (and still do!) and we met and struck up a friendship.

When we started thinking about this session I was thrilled when Mom didn’t think I was nuts for wanting to incorporate something they do all the time–ride bikes–into the session. I was thrilled with how things turned out.

We followed their usual route. First to the local school to play around in the empty parking lot and do some tricks, then on to a bridge where they often stop and look for critters.

I’m just going to point out that this wee little man is barely three and rides with no training wheels or assistance. Very impressive!

We rode over to “MommyDaddyTayTayandWeWy” road (it perhaps might have an official name, but this is what they call it!) and stopped to see if there were any turtles or critters in the creek below.

This image with his foot just so really captured a moment for me:

No critters were spotted except, perhaps, for this handsome little guy.

Teenager in training. Yep. I’m getting the stink-face here.

Love. Love. Love. With big pink puffy hearts.

Mom promised that the shoes matching so perfectly was just a fortunate accident.  They’re super-awesome.

Changing perspective.

I asked them to bring a book that was special and they brought Calvin and Hobbes and read a favorite clip.

Quite possibly my favorite sibling image to date. Love this so much!

I didn’t realize how much these guys went upside down in the session until I was blogging and realized this was the second “upside down kids” image that I loved and had to post. They didn’t seem to mind too much!

Pretty much my favorite image from the session. Yup. That makes my day.

Maxin’ and relaxin’.

We wrapped up with a little bit of music. It was a little bit of awesomeness.

Two-man show.

And just in case Dad needs an album cover some day. . .

If you couldn’t tell, I had a blast with this session. And I think the family did, too! Thanks again, you guys! It was so much fun!!!
