Dirtbikes and Quads... So this is love...

Last Saturday, Wendi and Chris took us along as they went out to let their boys ride their dirt bikes and quad. Bretton got his first taste of motorsports, and I must say... I think the kid is in love! He just sat on the tailgate of Chris's truck and chilled while the passing dirtbikes and other various vehicles completely entertained him for about 2 hours! If you know Bretton (or any 11 month old for that matter) you know he doesn't sit still for any more than 30 seconds under any other circumstance. Once again, I see his father in him!

The Superstitions on our way out. They were gorgeous with the clouds falling on them!

Bretton knows how cool you are when you wear sunglasses now, so he takes every opportunity and basks in the glow of his "coolness"

I didn't think I would let it happen, but I ended up being the one to take B on his first quad ride. It was all downhill from there. He thought he needed to be on the quad or dirtbike whenever no one else was on them. Also in the video are Ian (whose dream is to be in the X games as soon as he is eligible, as you can tell by the gear) and Justin (for a split second anyway).

And... as a side note... I rode a dirtbike for the first time! I never thought I'd see the day where I would be on a motorized vehicle with only 2 wheels, but alas... I conquered the fear, and I have the gash on my shin to prove it! (Granted, it was only a 70, but hey, it's a start! And it was all worth it.)

This newly re-discovered passion may just very well calm the Disneyland urge that we so often feel. Justin even said "I think every weekend we should either ride dirt bikes, go shooting or go to Disneyland!" I'm with ya on that one buddy!
