Four-Wheeling Fun

Mom called Friday night and asked if we wanted to go 4-wheeling with her, Jeff, and Tori. Of course, the kids were thrilled and Treven couldn't stop wanting to know when we were going. Chelsey had a car wash for 4-H so mom came and picked up Mikayla and Treven and the bikes. I waited for Chelsey to get home and then Braquel called and said she was almost off work so I waited for her, too. We got up to spot around 1:30. It was so hot with no shade whatsoever! Treven discovered that he can drive our 4-wheeler (as long as someone is on with him) and boy did he want to do that over and over! When none of the girls would go with him anymore, he talked grandma into riding with him. He also found a handful of used shells that were left there. That's like going to Jackpot for a 5 year old that loves to hunt!

Braquel got brave enough to try to ride the dirt bike. Mikayla warned her to let out the clutch real slow and she thought she was, but when the bike took off on the back wheel only she was quite shaken. When she got back from her little trip around the trruck, she said she almost decided to jump off the bike and run for it! We all thought the wheelie was hilarious, but I think it shook her up a bit. After that, Chelsey had to prove that she could ride, too. After killing it a few times, she got it going and only had a little tiny wheelie when she let out the clutch!

This is Mikayla coming back from a trail ride when we first got there. She is a lot like her dad and loves speed and anything dare-devilish. She makes me a little bit nervous and Braquel tells me I should never let her have a driver's license. By the end of the day, you could see the ring around Mikayla's eyes where her sunglasses went -everywhere else was covered in dirt!

Treven giving his big sister a ride on our 4-wheeler. She wasn't too sure about letting him drive, but he actually does a good job as long as they leave it in first gear! We had a great time even though every one of us got sun burnt!
