My "first" Tricycle

Back at the beginning of August, Mama & Papa found a tricycle on a "FREE" pile just two houses down from where we live. I had been completely obsessed with bicycles and tricycles ever since I started seeing them back in the early Spring. What a great fortune to have found this free "gift" and so close to home!

Well...when we got the tricycle home, I excitedly hopped right aboard! And that's when Mama and Papa discovered why the tricycle was on the free pile. It had some structural "issues". The main metal "stem" of the bike that connects the seat to the platform on the back wasn't really connected all the way and the tricycle had a tendency of dumping me off into the driveway, as you'll soon see. Mama only videoed me being dumped once, but I was so excited about the trike that I kept getting back on and attempting to ride it some more. I got dumped about 5 or 6 times before Mama decided to bring the trike inside to the carpeted living room. There I got dumped only twice before Mama decided the the trike had to go back to where it had come from.

So, I had my first tricycle for less than 24 hours, but I loved every minute we were together!
