Every Little Boys Dream Come True!

You can just imagine the smile on Kyle's face when Jim told him that he was going to take him "off-roading" with his gas-powered ATV! That smile got even wider when we told him that he could drive as fast as he wanted to, through as many puddles as he wanted to & get as dirty as he wanted to while doing it all!!
The ATV has what is known as a "kill switch" on a seperate keychain that Jim carried with him. In the event that Kyle should lose control of the ATV, all Jim would have to do is push the button on the keychain & the ATV would come to an abrupt stop. Of course, Kyle is a professional therefore the kill switch was not needed. He navigated his way around tree's, fallen branches, logs & thru puddles galore! He has mastered the gas & brakes & is really quite the driver!
Note how dirty both Kyle & vehicle are in these pictures! Kyle took full advantage of being told that he could ride thru the puddles & made it a point not to miss one! I wish I had taken a picture of Jim too - who also came home VERY muddy - he had to run to keep up with Kyle (next time he will take his bike..) & as a result ran thru quite a few puddles himself!
























When I asked Kyle if he had a good time he said "Mama, that was every little boys dream come true"!
The memories that were created that day will surely last him a lifetime! Once again I am reminded of how lucky I am to have Jim in our lives. He is such a remarkable father - always putting his children first, no matter how tired or busy he may be. When Kyle asks him to play he rarely says "In a minute"....
And already he has taught Kyle that the best memories in life can not be bought at a store.
