Riding around

This green 4-wheeler (the kids call it their "motorcycle") was a hand-me-down from my nephews and the kids loooove it! I bought Jaden a little Spiderman one that I thought was more his size but he's so over it. He wants the big one and only the big one! Luke will gladly take the little one - of course, he needs some help.

Jaden has actually gotten pretty good at steering ....when he's paying attention. That's the main problem. He gets distracted watching the other kids and runs up on the curb and onto the woody, grassy lots and eventually gets stuck. He doesn't know how to use the reverse and he doesn't like to stop. And sometimes he takes off down the road and doesn't seem to hear his name being called...
It's been wonderful the past 2-3 days down here. We can actually get out of the house! The temperature is nice - still hot but definitely bearable- and NO MOSQUITOS!!!!
