They would need to be on the scooter with someone running alongside....not you!!
DeleteTHat looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun.
ReplyDeleteThe girls love scootering and it's great now the roads are empty. In summer that beach road is very busy. Not a place for a scooter
DeleteThey need a bigger scooter, then the dog could have joined them. Poor thing; made to walk.
