Training wheels not allowed!

*****

John convinced Jack that he didn't need training wheels anymore since he turned 4.  Only took a few tries and he had it mastered.

Mom and Dad might need bicycles now.

This weeks family fun Friday...a trip to Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek.

 After checking out the main zoo area, we rode the tram to the Wild Africa Exhibit.
