One of J's good buddies celebrated his birthday, by inviting J & one other friend for an afternoon of four-wheelin', dune buggying, and go-carting. Let me reassure any grandmas that there were four adults providing constant supervision & helmets were worn by all three children. The adults even had remotes that could automatically bring the four wheelers to a complete stop, if/when necessary. How's that for genius??
After the birthday boy's grandpa gave a lesson on four wheeling, he had the boys practice a little...proving they could start & stop the vehicle. Once accomplished, they were turned loose on a wide, open lawn. They all picked it up quite well.
They were all cruising right along wonderfully, until...
J took a bit of spill. It's true, & I can almost hear my mom gasp from here. No worries, though. He's okay, & I stayed relatively calm. His ankle is a little bruised, but he was super tough. He couldn't wait to ride again & hardly wanted to stop for putting ice on his ankle.

After a yummy birthday snack & opening gifts, J was speeding by once again, like "ankle schmankle". They all had such a good time!!

| Sweet freedom! |

| Silly boys |

| Friends!! |
I was so proud of J's bravery, courage, & skills. I'm sure he'll ride again in the future. I'm proud of my own bravery for not totally freaking out the whole time. :) God definitely helps me be a mommy to boys. This I see more & more.
