The children were promised 4-wheeler rides for Sunday afternoon. Saturday was rainy at times (praise God for 3 inches when it was all done) and we put off riding until Sunday. Sunday turned out to be a bit windy and chilly but they were undeterred.
As an added bonus, the boys were able to ride WITHOUT DADDY. They only kept it in 1st or 2nd gear and rode around the yard. The girls were equally thrilled to ride with their brothers.
Ephraim and Eden
Emmet and Eliza
You've just got to love that look of Eliza! She's really happy. She's feeling pretty special. She's well cared for and loved. She might be a bit ornery, too.
A solo ride and speeding up!
Seth was sure to give the boys lessons on how to handle the ditch and what not to do. Safety is very important, too.
Both boys taking a ride.
Boys will be boys and find the mud puddle. I'm surprised we had only one after 3 inches of rain. Most of the rain just went into the cracks!
Two boys. One 4-wheeler. Ninety minutes of riding. Priceless memories. The boys were able to take the 4-wheeler to the pasture for a bit, where there was more wide open spaces to go a bit faster. You could hear their voices: "This is awesome!" "I love it!" "This is fun!" All amidst their laughter of having such a good time. Simple things are nice. Like a 4-wheeler ride on Sunday afternoon and mud-speckled memories.
