Growing Pains

So, while I have a deep seated fear of motorcycles...thanks mom :)...Carl is, of course, quite adept at them and has decided that Ella, having mastered her bicycle, might have a knack for motorcycle riding...and it turns out she does...On her first ride ever she quickly requested her Dad stop running along side her and just let her ride. She even took off in the little dirt track next to our house.

So, we made a little outing of it and got together with Carl's friend Briand and his 3 little ones and had quite the riding experience out in Emmett. All the little ones, who range from 2-6 years old did terrific. Don't get me wrong, we had a couple spills...Ella crashed into a cement barrier but fortunately only got a little scratch on her fingers, both the girls and one of the boys took some spills on the 50, and we ended the night with the 2-year old falling out of the camper and the 4-year old, Kohen, nearly getting run over by a runaway four wheeler out of the back of the trailer. We called it a day after that. :)

But, all in all, everyone had fun, they all got a turn on the small four wheeler, rode with their daddy's and learned to use the 50's. Plus, played quite adorably with each other...you gotta love how after one play date together little kids refer to each other as their 'friend' and give each other hugs before leaving. Too cute.
