...and up and out of the basement.

Turned out pretty well I think, though the proof will be when she gets her bottom wet.

Most of the day spent at Victoria Lane, as Bri and Renee are off to Barcelona, Spain. While I did get to spend some good time with the boys, I rather lucked out in taking the older girls bicycle shopping on a lovely spring day at a shop right along the Glacial Drumlin State Trail. All three of us got to take bikes for a long test ride, with me on an E-bike, don’t you know, something I’ve long wanted to try. Ellie, considering the proximity of her birthday, ended up with a suitably-sized gear bike (21 gears) equipped with disc brakes. Maddie’s birthday is in September and she is homing on on what kind of vehicle she would want. Becca, poor kid, has lots of lightly used bikes at her disposal. Meanwhile, I’m thinking an E-bike might be a marvelous thing in two or three years.

Mimi got the more difficult task, but then, about 5:30, Dawn (Yaya) arrived, and then the ratio was improved to 2 grandmas per five kids. These 2 grandmas are gong to have an interesting time the next 5 days. Holy, moly.
