On Saturday, I was checking the new listings on the on-line classifieds when I noticed one titled "Big Kid's Scooter." It was for a push/kick scooter that had small, bicycle-type wheels (with air in the tires) and also had hand brakes. They were asking $10 for it. I showed it to McKay and he got really excited and wanted me to respond to the ad and see if it was still available. (He had been telling me he was saving his money for another WebKinz, but this was more intriguing to him!)
McKay doesn't have his own scooter and is always riding either Hannah's or Courtney's. (Theirs are the Razor kick scooters with small plastic wheels and only a foot brake on the back.) So we replied and found out it was still available. McKay said he really wanted it, so we loaded everybody up and drove (in the drizzling rain) across town to pick it up. The tires needed air, but he seems to like it.
The handlebars are lower than the Razor scooters, but McKay said he doesn't mind that (and perhaps there's a way to raise them that we haven't figured out yet). But he is happy to have his own scooter!
