In celebration of Maima's special day we took the quads and ventured beyond our backyard for the first time with the kids. To make it even more daring we went somewhere we have never been before. When we lived in California (pre-kids) we knew all the great places to go and even though we did not have kids we knew the trails well enough to know those that would be great and safe for kids. Here in Oklahoma, it is all foreign and foreign trail riding is scary, especially with kids! Today was filled with a lot of emotion, fear and tears, joy and laughter and victory as the kids conquered things they have only dreamed of before. Lorea and I were both like mother bears protecting our young. Sometimes that included growling a bit to get them to listen (Akins seems to be especially challenged with this lately)so as not to get hurt. In all, we came away unscathed with the kids bragging a bit about how well they did!
A group shot!
Akins looking pretty tough
and all grown up. Okay, maybe not!
All that ridin', dirt and fresh air makes one hungry for bananas!

Awesome! Looks like fun. Abegail keeps asking when we are going to get a house big enough to have four wheelers in the backyard.
I think it looks like you all had alot of fun. It's good to get out with the kids and teach them you can do those types of activities and have alot of fun as a family. Tammy
