Good Times Roll.

Maddie and Luke here. We just got back from a weekend in Iowa visiting family. Gosh it was fun, but we decided mom and dad are holding out on us. Really, I think they are trying to raise us in a bubble....but, we caught on. You see, they took us to Uncle Tom and Aunt Mary's house. Our cousins have the coolest toys! We learned to drive while there. That's right, we always thought we'd start with something simple, like a golf cart, but nope, we started with a riding toy called the "Gator." Now that we had a taste of the good life, there is no turning back. In fact, we just might keep asking for one of these until mom and dad crack. What do you think? We didn't hit anyone....except the 4-wheeler. We think if we position the need as something to assist Dad with yard work he might buy into the idea....although we have a lot of work to do, because right now he says, "No." Perhaps we should keep sweet talking mom. I guess we could position this as something to tote Amy around in as well. Perhaps it could be a infant transportation option...thoughts?

Maddie and Luke PS. Amy was a really bad traveler on the way home....a 5.5 hour drive took 9 hours...it was not fun for anyone involved. Ugh. PSS. On the plus side, we did get to stop at Hickory Park in Ames, IA to eat. We love that place!
