And so it begins...

Anyone who knows us knows that we are all about the off-road sports. It's honestly what drew Jonathan and I close to one another almost 20 years ago and is something we have always done until we had kids. I knew our boat wouldn't be the only motorized sport we did after kids and that the itch for riding would hit Jonathan sooner or later. I was hoping it would be a little later when the kids were older, but it has hit. He has spent the past week going from go-carts to dirt bikes to four wheelers searching for Katelynn's first set of wheels. Now, I know some of you are about to panic. No worries- our little girl is not jumping on this and riding it just yet. If you remember my post from a few days ago, it took her this long to warm up to our tractor and be okay with the noise. She won't get near the four wheeler when it's running , and mommy also isn't a bit comfortable yet with her being on anything gas powered at this point (at least not without one of us on it too). Jonathan will spend plenty of time though working on this in the garage and "spiffing" it up, which I swear is half the fun of riding for him- getting to work on them and make them "cool".

This is Katelynn's new set of wheels. I can't even believe they make a four wheeler this tiny. I was shocked when he showed it to me. I hit the max weight limit on it, but I rode it since I'm the only one who can. It took a push to get me moving since I max it out, but it runs!

This is a bad picture- bad lighting, bad subject, etc but I wanted you to get an idea of how tiny this bike is!
Jonathan also purchased a dirt bike with training wheels this week in addition to the four wheeler. Katelynn will be able to ride the four wheeler way before the dirt bike as it is much bigger, but it's another "project" for Jonathan to work on and it's also something we can ride her around on in a while before she starts riding herself. This four wheeler is so tiny that I think it'll have to sit for quite some time before it gets ridden around the yard since it's too small for us to drive her on it with us. He didn't tell me about the dirt bike though. I walked outside the other day and Katelynn said, "Mommy, Daddy bought me a motorcycle!!" She was all grins and I was about to have a heart attack, but yes, he did buy her a "motorcycle."
