This really was a Phun Phriday! Here is our new Phriday night date car, and yes, definitely an old age/retirement crisis!!!!! And the most amazing part, it was my idea. So how in the world did this happen! A friend in the ward (Jeff's age), wanted to show us what he bought for his wife for their retirement. When we saw it, I said, "that's what I've been waiting for." I knew I wouldn't like straddling a 4 wheeler, and then there's the safety thing. This 4 wheeler side-by-side drives like a car, you are strapped in, has a roll bar and long arm suspension making it very difficult to roll over. Added bonus, can add a heater and sun top. I like that Jeff and I can ride together and talk about what we see, plus I can tell him when to stop for photo ops. We got it yesterday, and took it out for a trial run for our Phriday date! Yes, we have gone over the edge, but we'll be the coolest grandparents around !!!!!!!!!!!!!! (See link below)
Now check out this link to see what we will NOT be doing, (but the boys already have plans).
(I had a link with some crazy kids doing all sorts of not so safe jumps, but I noticed that the lyrics of the music they used to accompany the video were offensive so I removed it.)

The only problem is that you will have to fight off the kids and grandkids so you can ride in it.
Looks like fun!
WOW!! So mom , ya have a pink helmet? Looks like tons of fun, and Lisa said it...you're gonna haveto fight off all the kids and grandkids to be able to ride it. I was just saying to Will that all these Retirement things you have invested in, are all for the family and kids to enjoy times together as a family and make memories. Unlike other families where the parents spend all their retirement on themselves and say too bad you didn't earn any of it to their kids, and not think of anyone else. You deserve it, however you are the coolest grandparents around for being so loving and thoughtful to what really matter for retirement other than rest, and that is family, and family time and many memories. Thanks for being such great parents willing to share in your happiness, wealth, and hard work. We love you and can't wait to come try it out.
We will now expect even greater pictures from in the back woods. It looks like many fun adventures ahead for you.
You never run out of surprises at your house. Maybe sometime John and I can follow you and eat your dust from our 4-wheelers.
Do they allow you to take these on missions? :) (from Scott)
We may have to come pay you a visit...
