A New Family Hobby

This past spring the husband decided it would be fun to relive his younger days and get a dirt bike. I was hesitant at first because as we all know, older folks who haven't ridden in a while + a motorized 2 wheeled machine could result in not good things for said older folks.  That being said, this older gal decided it would be fun to join in and we ended up getting a big bike for papa, a medium bike for mama and a little bike for middle brother. On a side note, this whole adventure started after attending some awesome cross country races to watch a couple of awesome local boys. That and our 2nd oldest boy found our youngest a cute little bike.  We got it all fixed up and everyone had a blast riding it but, as I said, it was decided to get bigger bikes for bigger people. So, we are now the proud owners of 4 bikes, and a rabble of riding gear that has taken over most of the garage. This fact will make me sad when it snows for real and I can't park in the garage. We have been out a few times and so far have only had one accident that landed us in the ER....and our backyard, at times, resembles a racetrack. My husband taught my middle boy how to pull a wheelie and now wheelie practice has become a main after school activity. I guess practice makes perfect!! The only downside (according to my youngest) Gabe won't stop stealing Rollie's bike! (Its an better bike for doing a good wheelie! 😉) I hope next year we have more time for more fun!
