Birthday Wheels

Nathan has a battery operated 4 wheeler at out house that my parents bought him a few years ago and he really loves it. 

Well, Pepper and I talked about how he was out growing this and needed a real 4-wheeler.  We looked a bit on the internet and one day Pep called me and told me he found the perfect 4 wheeler. I wasn't ready yet, but I trust him completely that our grandson was ready. So we took a ride to check it out.  It didn't take us long to make up our minds. It was so dang cute and green camo to boot.  Nathan's favorite color is green--perfect!

We wanted to wait until Nathan was with us so we waited.  We told Nathan that he was getting his birthday present early.  We jumped in the truck and by the time we were in Mohawk, Nathan was fast asleep.  When we got there Pepper took out his helmet (that was hidden) and tried to wake him up---no way! He was zonked!

He finally woke up when we put his helmet on and stood him up in the driveway.  It took him a few minutes to realize what was happening.  He didn't seem too excited at first-still sleepy.

 Starting it up....

 Checkin' out the brakes and throttle.....

 Test drive.

 First ride at our house.

 Unloading

 Filling water balloons while waiting for his machine to come off the truck.

 This is the brake...this is the throttle.  What's a throttle?...It makes you go!

Drove a little tentative at first but now he's a pro!
