Wesley's new toy

Yes, we have become a motorcycle couple!! This is what Wes got for our anniversary, Father's Day, his birthday and Christmas for the next five years. Ironically, it is saving us money even though we spent money to get it-dang gas prices! It has been a lot of fun so far and even I have enjoyed it, except for the ginormous burn on my right leg (Tail pipes get very, very hot I discovered...). When we went to pick it up, every time we turned around, the kids were up on different bikes. At one point Hailey asked, "how do we pedal these?" Of course we explained that they didn't have pedals, but holy cuteness. When Wes was ready to ride home, I took the kids out to our car and she asked him with great concern, "Daddy, I think it's too big." To which he replied, "for what?" and she replied, "Daddy, I don't think it will fit in the back of the car." Here is the punch line: we were in our two-door hatchback Geo Metro, which is full of Wes' speaker box and two huge car seats. There is hardly even enough room for us, let alone the bikes front tire!! The engine alone would take up the entire back seat. But she was thinking about it trying to figure it out. Very intuitive, just like her daddy. And now whenever Riley sees it he says, "motorcycle fun," which is all the incentive Wes needs to take them for a ride. Word to the unwise: wear pants when riding a bike! I say unwise, because if you already ride a bike, then you are probably wise to that! This is my ginormous burn and it really hurts!
