Rummage Success

As I promised, here is another post on another great rummage buy.  I've been looking at/for an attachable bike (to our bike) for the kids, since we got Denver his first bike.  Since Makenna was not ready to ride a bike though it was easy to just put both kiddos in our bike trailer (which also was a rummage sale buy several years ago), but now that Denver has achieved so much success with his bike he doesn't want to ride in the trailer and Makenna wants to do what her brother is doing, BUT she is slightly afraid on her bike.  (I think she's afraid she's going to fall over as her training wheels have a little more unbalance than I remember Denver's having.) So the search for a "Tag Along" or a "Trail Gator" began again.  When I was reading through some rummage listings there was a "tag along bike" listed, so I highlighted it, starred the listing and told myself I should be at that rummage right when it opens.  I had to work that night so I wasn't overly excited about getting up early, nor was I wanting to wake my sleepy heads, and have crabby kiddos all day, so I decided if its meant to be the kids will get up and we'll get there in time.  Sure enough, the kids got up early on their own, and we drove out there and found an amazing deal!  At first the lady made me 2nd guess myself as she thought Kenna was too little to ride on it and that it would be better for Denver, except Denver does great on his bike already, but if we wanted to go a farther distance this would maybe be good.  I decided I couldn't pass up the deal, as she was only asking $15, and IF Kenna was too little she'd grow into it.  So we bought it.  We got home and got it attached and went for a ride and the whole time Makenna kept saying "Mommy, this is so much fun!". 

Here's a picture of the kids with the bike attached to Daddy's bike.
