OK, so Andy built this jump for the kids (Maddie and AJ) to ride their bikes off of. We have a long driveway which slopes at a pretty steep decline towards Andy's work shop. Alex and his friends have fun riding down the slope and off the jump. Well, yesterday I could tell Lane was dying to give the jump a try. I had to find something else fun for him to do because the slope is too steep for him on his little bike with training wheels. He got very mad at me... he wanted to play with the big boys.
Well, after a while I heard the wheels to this little ride-on toy go flying down the concrete driveway. There is no braking system on this (besides his feet). I ran outside just in time to see him fly off of the jump (and land it!!) You should of seen his face! It was a proud moment for him -- but it scared me to death! Before I could get down to him he was already headed back to the top of the driveway to do it again! So, being a responsible Mother, I ran in and got the camera!! What else would a good mother do??
He has done this trick over and over and loves it. I watch him carefully...he flies down, heads off the jump, bounces his way to a safe landing, and then smiles. At the end of this post you will see a short video of him in action...its pretty funny!
Sorry Mom, don't watch! :)

I love the thumbs up at the end!! He and Max would be a dangerous duo.
Kids are so daring!!
You are such a wonderful mother! I would have done the same thing. I really miss your kids and can't wait to see them. Oh, and you and Andy too of course!

He just wants to be big! What a cutie!
That video is so cute! Maybe a helmet would make me a little less nervous though :)
