Labor Day

Our very generous, fun friends let us tag along and ride quads with them this morning. We had a really great time. The kids were in heaven. It was beautiful weather and just a great day altogether!Luke and Jake with matching expressions! They must think alike. We tried to get Luke to smile, but he was too busy trying to figure out what was going on.

Dad and Jake get ready to take off. Cute Georgia and Breanna. Let's Go!!
Lukie was makin' the moves on Ava. Can't blame him, she's pretty cute! She was such a good baby, too! She just relaxed and enjoyed the hum of the bikes.
As much as Luke liked looking at Ava, that didn't last long. Even Ava can't compete with dirt. He was eating it by the handfuls and making some rather delicious mud pies. Breanna and I found the coolest hills. We are novice riders, so to us, it felt like we were on a roller coaster ride. When we got back from our ride, Sarah said she could see us going over the hills and we were so high it looked like we were above the trees. We got to watch Sarah and Georgia then Jake and Dad go and it did look really cool to see them up so high!
Here are Breanna, Jake and Luke after a great morning of riding! After we took this picture, Breanna went off for one last ride. She took a little detour though and ended up crashing into a tree. Jake came running, shouting, "Emergency!" Dad was already there helping Breanna and James helped get the quad away from the tree. Breanna was pretty shook up. I guess she was cruising along and looked back for just a second and the next thing she knew - "Hello Tree!" She has a few scratches and a very sore arm, but she is recovering nicely. Slurpees from Circle K do wonders for sore arms.
We had such a great time!! Thanks friends!!!

Sounds like fun. It was raining here all day so we didn't get out to do anything. Makes me wish we were back there with you guys. Glad Breanna is okay, that is pretty scary when it happens to your baby girl!!
