COOL Grandpa...

I could be wrong (which I like to think that I am not very often), but I think it is safe to say not a huge percentage of kids have 'grandpas' that ride motorcycles. Probably a higher number than I am aware of--anyway, our kids think it is sooooo COOL Grandpa Brinkerhoff has a motorcycle. They think it is even cooler that he gives them rides. Our kids (well, Troy does too) dream and LOVE riding on a motorcycle. They really get a kick out of the fun, short little outings they get with Grandpa!! Brandon and Kara got their first ride of the year Tuesday. Emily got her first one ever--she just rode in the driveway--she was terrified---unless Grandma was with her!

Kara, tickled PINK when she found out she got to go for a ride on Grandpa's Motorcycle--she usually just watches Tyler & Grandpa ride away with tears rolling down her face!! TODAY is HER DAY!!!

Grandma getting Kara ready to go!!

Let's Hit the Road Grandpa!!!

We did this quick pose for Uncle Robert---this is his Bike!! (that needs washed)

Brandon gearin up to go!!

Mr. Brandon ready to ROLL!!

Grandpa's anxious passengers!!

LOVE Kara's expression here---ya think she is a LITTLE excited?!

Another quick on for Uncle Robert--we were waiting for Grandpa to finish washing and drying off his bike!!

It's really happening---if it weren't for the HUGE helmets---you could see two HAPPY kids!!

Away they go!!!

They made it to our house---Kara was NOT happy to get off!!

I don't think Emily really wanted a turn!! She won't be much competition for the motorcycle!!

Emily still a little nervous, even with Grandma on!!

Emily didn't go far, but as long as Grandma was with her--she thought it was all right!! Ya, she SCREAMED when she had to get off!!
