The Big Find

Addison has been needing a new bike for awhile. It's hard to justify spending $150 on something that he is going to beat up, scrape up and grow out of in just a short time. I decided that we would start looking at garage sales. Last year we found one for Isabelle, who can't even ride a bike yet, but no luck on one for Addison.
We finally were going to give in and fork over the money, when what do you know, right in our own neighborhood was a garage sale with a boys bike that had hardly been ridden at all, almost brand new. The price was set at $45 it seemed to much, so I had Adam take a look at it when he came home. He looked at it, offered $30 for it and Addison was the proud owner of a brand new bicycle.
It is about 1 size bigger than we would have bought him, but for the great deal and the fact that he will fit in it longer than a smaller bike, it was certainly worth it.
I love a great deal. Don't you?

Great find and he looks so grown up on that big bike, that looks to be about the size we bought Isabelle but she still won't get on and ride it. Hoping when the nice weather hits we can get her out on it and try getting her to ride without training wheels.
I also noticed your tickers for all your children, 5 of them in a row is amazing. You are so blessed!
