Jacob's First "Bike" Ride

I've known the day was coming for quite some time. The day my mom finally gave in and let my dad get a motorcycle. I have heard this man talk about wanting a bike for as long as I can remember. Mom and I pretty much share the same point of view. I trust Dad. I don't trust the other idiots on the road. In all honesty, it might not scare me as bad now that he has it. Maybe. But no. My husband still cannot get one. :-) Sorry, Wayne! I can't tell Dad no, but I can you! :-) You'll just have to enjoy Dad's some more while we are at his house. Maybe after you ask for 20+ years I'll give in, but I doubt it. We'll stick to campers and boats for our toys.

Anyway, before any of you freak out about the title, it's probably not what you are thinking. Literally my dad drove at walking speed (never getting out of first gear), in the yard, and Jacob had a helmet on! :) This kid loved it! Mommy was a little nervous, but I know his Pappy would never let anything happen to him. In fact, Jacob cried and cried when we finally made him get off!

Before preacher biker dude rode the little man, they had to wait on mommy to get out there, so what better to do than play a little football?

And maybe we'll let Daddy take it for a quick ride.

Then, it was finally time.

And this is one thing I thought I would never see.

Real quick, funny story. After everyone was done, Wayne wanted to go on a little longer ride. (He's still pretty new at this.) So, Dad told him where to go to where he wouldn't have to cross traffic and such. After he was gone for about 5 minutes (Dad and I were anxiously looking for him), Dad's phone rings. He looks down with the most confused, concerned look on his face, and my heart dropped as he said, "It's Wayne???" Turns out, he ran out of gas! I've never been so relieved before in my life! Thankfully it has a reserve and he made it home safely. I might just have a panic attack over this new "toy" before it's all over with!
