4 Wheeler Fun!




















We went for a bike ride today, we did not go too far today, my bike repair man (AKA Big Korey) fixed my flat, but now my brakes are dragging...anyway, we rode down the road, little Korey with fishing pole in hand to where they are replacing a bridge so the road is closed. This is where little Korey wanted to fish. So, while he did that, Jordan, Jacob and I rode around in a road that is normally very busy, but we could ride down the center of the road, and do circles. It was really cool, but yet, I still felt like I was doing something I should not be.....Last time we went down that road, big Korey insisted that we could make it across the work area, and he ended up with a flat tire and had to walk home, but this time, I decided it was to difficult with all the stone that we would stay on our side of the bridge. We didn't stay long anyway due to the bike brakes and the fact that lil Korey lost part of his fishing pole, well the bait.... So, we came home and little Korey got the 4 wheeler out and Jacob and him had the first ride. Jacob was having a blast! I reminded little Korey that he could not go too fast, he had Jakie with him, he of course said he knew...but Jacob insisted that he COULD go fast that he can HANG on!! A few trips around the yard and Jacob wanted to drive it ALL himself. I see little Korey keep raising his hands as to say, "look ma, no hands!"





So, Jakie was driving! Well, as much as a 3 year old could. He pressed on the gas too much and would jerk faster and then little Korey would pull him back and again, he wanted to go faster, and I would yell to slow down. It was good fun.

Then little Korey wanted to show off a little, being bet he could not do a wheelie by one of his cousins, he was up for the challenge and going past me on his feet, then popping it he would make it up on two wheels, at one point flipping too much, off he went. OK, that was enough for me. Jordan was next, not wanting to be outdone for braveness, he was whipping around fast, he does not know how to do wheelies, so he was just trying to spin out, and ended up taking a spill, hurting his bum....when I said, "OK, lets put it away!" Jordan insisted he was not one of those kids who gets hurt and does not want to try it again.

Jacob is now counting the turns the other boys have had telling them they have one more turn around....then it was HIS turn, it was funny to watch him run down the hill and tell them "MY TURN NOW" and as they got closer he would run for it!


Getting hungry, I yell, "Quiero Taco Bell!" (I want Taco Bell, in Spanish ). Little Korey knew what I meant and he made a run for the car, so after all toys were put back off we went for a late dinner run at 7:30 pm. The planned porkchop dinner will be post poned for a another night.....because we were busy making great memories.

You are so good about spending time with your kids and doing fun things. It is something I should do more of.
